Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, if she will publish any strategic analysis her Department has undertaken on the export opportunities for (a) renewable energy, (b) food and drink and (c) artificial intelligence.

Published last autumn, our refreshed cross-government Export Strategy: Made in UK, Sold to the World focuses on helping businesses reach their exporting potential.

As part of this strategy, the new Food and Drink Export Council will bring together UK Government, the Devolved Administrations and industry, to enable both government and business to best target their efforts. Additionally, we have conducted research into the export opportunities for Renewable Energy which will be published in the summer of this year.

As the UK secures new trade deals, we will include provisions on emerging digital technologies, including AI, and champion international data flows, preventing unjustified barriers to data crossing borders while maintaining the UK’s high standards for personal data protection.
