Government Response
Deferred
HM Government · verbatim extract
Deferred
The recently published Trade Strategy reiterates the Government’s commitment to the delivery of a Single Trade Window and a commitment to minimising burdens and frictions by those trading internationally. Delivery of the Single Trade Window Programme is not led within Defra and has not been led within Defra previously. As such, this response is not an appropriate place to provide an analysis of the reasons for delay to delivery of the STW or a future roadmap.
