Those points demonstrate how serious and extensive the Government's actions are, but I recognise that sometimes unfortunate situations arise and I am happy to look at that case and take it back to the Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation.

The third round of consultations on the zero-emission vehicle mandate has just closed. We work closely with all relevant parties, especially car manufacturers. Not deflecting from our path will put us further ahead and trigger substantial private sector investment in charging infrastructure.

My hon. Friend hits the nail on the head when he talks about the importance of the services sector. Services are 80% of our economy. We are the world's second largest services exporter. I used to sit at the EU Foreign Affairs Council on trade, and it was often difficult to get the EU to focus as well as it might have done on services possibilities. We now have an independent trade policy, which allows us to give services the focus that UK service companies and service providers deserve, and financial services are very much at the heart of that. We always make sure that our services offer is right at the forefront of our FTA talks and other bilateral trade talks.

The Government are committed to ensuring a path into the civil service for high-quality individuals. We need really good, high-quality public servants. I spoke earlier about apprenticeships and mentioned an important point regarding fast track. There will be routes into the civil service for high-quality public servants.

My hon. Friend is absolutely right; we have reached a major milestone on that accession process by moving to market access negotiations with that trade bloc. In addition to opening up a new market, this will also help us on such matters as maritime security and meeting the goals of the integrated review.

We share my hon. Friend's ambition to ensure that the UK remains a global hub for services and digital trade, which is why we are striking a series of advanced, high-standard FTAs with leading nations around the world. Our FTA with Japan provides greater benefits for financial services than the EU-Japan FTA, and our recently signed FTA with Australia includes an ambitious financial services chapter that will enable businesses to build on the £800 million-worth of financial services exported to Australia in 2020.

I think that 11,000 licences were granted during the covid period, but I note my hon. Friend's concern, which I know is a real concern shared elsewhere in the House. DIT attempts to say that 70% of cases will be dealt with within 20 days and 99% within 60 days, but as we set out in DSIS, we need to get better both in transparency and in speed. We will be taking the matter up.

Alongside the Department for International Trade and the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, we are hugely supportive of defence export campaigns to our friends and allies, a posture reinforced by the defence and security industrial strategy. I have conducted regular meetings on exports in Poland, Finland, Ukraine and Greece over the course of the summer.
