On the election of Boris Johnson as leader of the Conservative Party, prior to his appointment as Prime Minister, the Chemical Industries Association has issued a statement:
"We congratulate Boris Johnson and stand ready as the country’s biggest manufacturing export sector to work with the new Prime Minister and his Government to deliver growth and prosperity across all of the UK.
"Securing a Brexit deal with the European Union in the coming months will, we believe, fundamentally strengthen the chances of that growth and prosperity happening, so we urge the new Prime Minister and his government – along with EU27 governments – to work constructively and urgently to avoid a no deal outcome by the end of October.
"Frictionless tariff free trade, regulatory consistency and access to skilled people remain the chemical industry’s priorities right across Europe and delivering those outcomes will help remove the damaging climate of uncertainty and inject some much needed business confidence in terms of trade and investment.
"Government working with business can deliver a bright future for all”.
