Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what assessment she has made of the level of satisfaction amongst businesses with the Tradeshow Access Programme.

The Tradeshow Access Programme (TAP) is monitored as part of DIT’s collective assessment of the support it offers to exporters.

The last published TAP-specific Business Satisfaction figures are from the UK Trade and Investment Performance and Impact Monitoring Survey, published in March 2015.

The research was conducted by an independent market research agency.

83% of the 130 businesses surveyed, who had participated in TAP as a UK group or delegation, were satisfied with the service in 2013-2014.
