Question to the Department for International Trade:
To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what assessment he has made of trends in the level of funding of the Tradeshow Access Programme.
For the last 2 years funding for TAP has remained at £6.5m. The overall TAP budget is in line with the last Spending Review settlement.
An evaluation of TAP is being commissioned to understand how to improve programme delivery and the impact the scheme has on businesses and the wider economy. This will inform future budget allocations.
