Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what steps her Department has taken to help increase exports to Poland since 2022.

The Government is committed to driving forward export growth and helping UK businesses export to markets across the globe including Poland. UK exports to Poland amounted to £10.5 billion in the 12 months to September 2023, an increase of 26.0% or £2.2 billion in current prices compared to the previous 12 months, making Poland the UK’s 21st largest export market.

UK businesses can access DBT’s wealth of export support, via Great.gov.uk. This comprises a digital self-serve offer and a wider network of support, including trade advisers, Export Champions, the Export Academy, International Markets network and UK Export Finance.

I visited Poland last month to promote UK exports and two-way investment flows.
