I recognise the groundwork laid by the noble and learned Lord, Lord Thomas, and the noble Lord, Lord Holmes, in relation to the Electronic Trade Documents Act, and intend for the Government to take this into consideration when consulting and developing regulations regarding payments and imports or exports. I assure all noble Lords that the Government are actively supporting businesses to utilise digital trade documents, including through an SME capability programme, a dedicated GOV.UK webpage and a business awareness campaign.
