Arms Trade: USA
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what steps his Department is taking to support British aerospace manufacturers to utilise UK-US defence trade cooperation arrangements.
Answered by Sarah Jones
My Department welcomes the opportunities that come from the Government’s recent announcements on trade arrangements with the USA, alongside those from our longstanding defence cooperation agreements, which support our growth ambitions. We work directly with British Industry and trade associations to provide appropriate support to UK business including the aerospace sector, to access opportunities, including at trade shows in the US and globally, such as the recent Paris Air Show and DSEI later this year.
