Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what steps he is taking to maintain the level of UK exports.

The Department for Business and Trade (DBT) is committed to supporting UK businesses to export and grow globally. The Export Academy and International Trade Advisers are helping UK SME’s build their capability to export around the world. The International Markets teams in embassies around the world are connecting UK businesses with global buyers and distributors. UK businesses can access DBT’s wealth of export support via Great.gov.uk.

And we are targeting market access barriers in priority markets to open up even more opportunities for UK exporters.

As part of our new trade strategy and small business strategy, we are looking at further proposals to help UK businesses to export more.
