Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what further steps she is planning to take to promote trade with Cuba.

The Department of International Trade (DIT) is committed to building our relationships across the world as part of our Global Britain agenda.

We have appointed Her Majesty’s Trade Commissioner to Latin America and the Caribbean (LatAC) to promote UK trade interests across the region including Cuba where we have a team based at the British Embassy. A LatAC Roadshow is planned in March for several UK regions to promote trade opportunities to UK companies.
