Question to the Department for International Trade:
To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, for what reasons his Department provided financial assistance to companies attending the consumer electronics show in Las Vegas on 5 to 8 January 2017; and what criteria were used in allocating funds to each such company.
The Department for International Trade supports UK businesses to attend over 600 events, trade fairs and shows annually with the aim to increase their export growth. For a UK business to access funds in the form of a Tradeshow Access Programme grant the criteria are available on Gov.uk.
