Question to the Department for International Trade:
To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what recent discussions has he had with his counterparts overseas on the export of UK pharmaceutical products.
The United Kingdom pharmaceutical sector is a major exporter with exports of £24.8 billion in 2018. Support to exports by United Kingdom pharmaceutical companies is co-ordinated by the Department for International Trade. We work closely with the sector to identify when Ministerial or official discussions with overseas counterparts are required and there is regular senior level engagement with the major UK pharmaceutical exporters.
