Question to the Wales Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, what recent assessment he has made of the success of UK Trade & Investment in relation to Welsh exports; and if he will make a statement.
UK Trade & Investment provides invaluable support for Welsh businesses looking to gain access to international markets. It is encouraging that the recent trends show Welsh exports outperforming the other nations and regions in the UK, with the value of Welsh exports increasing by 9.9 per cent over the past year compared to 0.5 per cent across the UK as a whole.
