Question to the Department for International Trade:
To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, how many departmental ministerial visits have been made to sub-Saharan Southern Africa since 2019.
This question was answered on 26th September 2022
Department for International Trade Ministers have visited sub–Saharan Africa once since the start of 2019. Former Minister for Exports, the Member for Finchley and Golders Green, visited Nigeria and South Africa in May 2022.
As a former FCO, DFID and FCDO Africa Minister I will be visiting the continent more frequently and will lead on development issues in the department and will help grow Africa out of poverty.
