T7. I recently visited Wombat Cricket in Ivybridge, where self-taught Harry and his team make handcrafted cricket bats from local willow. The trade agreement with India, negotiations for which began under the previous Conservative Government, will phase out tariffs on cricket bats over five years. Does the Secretary of State agree that we should make the most of this freedom to support British sports manufacturers and grassroots sport?
