Rachel Reeves – 2021 Comments on the Fashion Industry

The comments made by Rachel Reeves, the Shadow Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, on 2 February 2021.

This costly new red tape and bureaucracy is holding businesses and our proud British tradition of quality textiles and cutting edge fashion back.

How many more of our industries will we see decline before this government takes action?

They must work with the fashion and textile industry to make trade simple and plug the gaps in the deal to stop more businesses and our economic recovery paying the price.
