The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what the (a) value and (b) volume of solar PV and energy storage equipment imported into the UK from China is.

Answered by Michael Shanks

The Department does not hold this information. HMRC publishes the value and mass of solar panels and batteries imported, by country, on its data portal at www.uktradeinfo.com/trade-data/ots-custom-table/.
