<p>As part of our work preparing to make a success of our departure from the European
Union we are undertaking a broad range of sectoral analysis covering the entirety
of the UK economy, including the chemicals industry.</p><p> </p><p>The Government
is committed to the best possible deal for the United Kingdom - a deal that works
for the entirety of the UK economy. We have been engaging with businesses and industry
bodies from all sectors of the economy in order to inform our negotiations with the
EU. On 17th November 2016 government officials attended the Chemical Industries Association
Conference and on 6th November 2017 I met with CIA representatives to further understand
the opportunities and challenges for the chemicals sector as a result of the UK’s
exit from the EU. The UK chemicals sector is a strategically important industry for
our country. In the UK, we are global leaders, and we are determined that we continue
to be world-leading in this space.</p><p> </p>
