Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what criteria her Department used to select the businesses to accompany the Minister for Trade on his recent visit to Ukraine.

The selection of companies for the recent trade mission to Ukraine was carefully considered based on several key criteria. These included companies with advanced operational capabilities in the field, those with an established business presence in Ukraine or already in contract with the Government of Ukraine, and those specifically matching Ukrainian demand as outlined by the Ukrainian government.
