You will be aware that my Rt Hon Friend the Prime Minister has created a new Department for International Trade, which is responsible for promoting British trade across the world and ensuring the UK takes advantage of the huge opportunities open to us. We are building up our trade policy capability and are working closely with other Government Departments including the Department for Exiting the European Union, DEXEU. ​The Department for International Trade has begun a process to recruit and train staff to work on the UK’s trade policy. We will adapt the resource devoted to trade policy in line with future demands.
