Context
Polyethylene terephthalate resin manufacturing in Teesside is crucial for critical applications including food, pharmaceuticals, and PPE packaging.
Question
The proposed UK global tariffs threaten the survival of Alpek, the sole UK producer of PET, due to MFN tariffs on its raw materials despite no domestic production. Will you meet me and Alpek in my constituency to discuss this issue?
Answer from Elizabeth Truss (Secretary of State for International Trade)
Last week, I visited manufacturing businesses in the north-east. I would be delighted to meet Jacob Young and Alpek in his constituency to see what can be done to help address its issues regarding tariffs on raw materials.
