Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, with reference to his Department's factsheet entitled 9th UK China Economic and Financial Dialogue 16 December 2017, whether David Cameron's new role on investment between the UK and China is a Government appointment.

The new UK-China bilateral investment fund, of which David Cameron will be Vice-Chairman, is a private sector initiative, and not a government appointment. The fund has not received public money. The Department for International Trade welcomes initiatives which support innovative and sustainable commercial growth opportunities between the UK and China.
