To ask Her Majesty's Government what discussions they have had with (1) car manufacturers, (2) bricks, tiles and ceramics manufacturers, and (3) farmers and the food industry concerning the impact of the absence of tariffs on those groups in the event that the UK leaves the EU without a deal.

Her Majesty's Government what assessment have they made of the contribution to the economy of the brick industry.
The Annual Business Survey 2015, published 9 June 2017, showed that the “manufacture of bricks, tiles and construction products, in baked clay” sector in 2015 employed 5,000 people across 125 enterprises, with a turnover of £925million.
Whilst there are no individual statistics on the brick industry other data suggests well over half of this sector is brick manufacture. This represents 0.01% of enterprises and 0.03% of turnover and employment in the non-financial business economy.
