Question to the Department for International Trade:
To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what proportion of his Department's budget is allocated to the Trade Remedies Authority.
The following figures relate to the operational budget of the Trade Remedies Investigation Directorate (TRID):
- For the year 2018/2019 TRID had a budget £7.3m which equated to 1.7% of the Department’s overall budget.
- For the year 2019/2020 TRID has a budget of £11.9m which equates to 2.3% of the Department’s overall budget
Please note that any costs relating to occupancy and IT infrastructure are provided by centralised services and the Department does not operate an internal charging regime to reallocate these costs to the business units.
