The introduction of the Single Trade Window (STW), aimed at simplifying trade processes post-Brexit, has been put on hold due to government concerns over implementation costs.
Companies currently face a complex system of submitting documents to multiple agencies, which the STW aimed to streamline through a single digital platform.
Warnings from the National Audit Office highlighted the STW's major challenges, indicating that the government's optimistic timelines were unrealistic and contributed to the decision to pause.
James Murray stated that the government is pausing the STW to reassess its role amidst financial challenges, with further updates expected at the late-spring spending review.
