The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what progress the Government has made on delivering a UK Single Trade Window.

Answered by Nick Thomas-Symonds

The Government is committed to minimising administrative burdens and frictions experienced by businesses trading internationally. While delivery of the single trade window (STW) was paused at the end of 2024, it remains the Government’s intention to deliver an STW, and we will use the pause to further engage with key border stakeholders to better understand their needs.
