The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, when he intends to respond to the correspondence from the hon. members for North West Norfolk and Brigg and Immingham of 17 March 2026 regarding tariffs on imports of UAN.

Answered by Chris Bryant

The Government received correspondence regarding an application for a duty suspension as part of the 2025-2026 business suspension application window. We cannot comment on the application as the assessment process is currently ongoing, but we expect to announce the outcome as soon as possible.

The Government can confirm receipt of the correspondence and will respond when the suspensions process is complete.
