Written question asked by Gareth Snell (Labour) on Monday, 10 March 2025, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Wednesday, 12 March 2025. It was answered by Sarah Jones (Labour) on Tuesday, 18 March 2025 on behalf of the Department for Business and Trade.


Ceramics: Task Forces

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, if his Department will convene a ceramics taskforce, chaired by a Minister.

Answer

The Department for Business and Trade works closely with the ceramics sector through Ceramics UK and directly with businesses to understand its challenges and provide support to help its global competitiveness. If we take a view that a ceramics taskforce is required, we will convene it.

Our engagement includes the Energy Intensive Users Group which includes representation from the ceramics sector. I recently held a roundtable with members of EIUG and met with a ceramics sector delegation today.
