She made the comment during business questions in the Commons, where Jonathan Reynolds, the Labour business secretary, criticised her record since she has been in post.
The “rules of origin” requirements raised by car manufacturers are part of the TCA and related to Brexit, but all European car manufacturers are having problems because there is not enough battery supply in Europe, she said.
