Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, if she will make it her policy to implement the 21 recommendations in the first annual report from the UK Trade and Business Commission.

HM Government is getting on with the job, setting up engagement mechanisms to make sure the United Kingdom’s position is well-informed and reflects the interests of the British people. These engagement mechanisms include the Ministerially-chaired Strategic Trade Advisory Group (STAG), eleven sector-specific Trade Advisory Groups (TAGs), and ten cross-government Thematic Working Groups (TWGs) currently.
