Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, pursuant to his Oral Answer on 23 November 2017, what criteria he used to locate staff from the Export Hub on Small Business Saturday.

The Export Hub is invited to locations across the UK, and has so far visited 231 sites. Any Member of Parliament is able to request for the Export Hub to visit their constituency.

The logistics for managing the Export Hub is contracted through an external company.

Many cross-party MPs have spoken highly of the work of the Export Hub at the Department for International Trade’s (DIT) Monthly MPs Briefings which the DIT Ministerial team hosts.
