Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what plans the Maritime Capability Campaign Office has to engage with the UK's maritime industry to set priorities and support maritime businesses to export.

The Department for International Trade (DIT) is developing ambitious plans to support exports and investment in the Maritime sector as part of the upcoming National Shipbuilding Strategy Refresh. We will be able to provide more detail on these plans following publication of the Refresh. DIT is committed to the maritime sector and works closely with it on a wide range of export issues and opportunities.
