To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether his Department has made an assessment of the potential impact of the UK-US trade deal on the energy sector.

Answered by Mr Douglas Alexander

On 16 June, we announced concrete progress towards the implementation of the UK-US trade deal as agreed on 8 May. We continue to work closely with the energy sector to understand the impacts of the UK-US trade deal.
