Question to the Department for International Trade:
To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, how much her Department has spent on (a) polling services, (b) research surveys, and (c) focus groups in 2022.
The information required to answer this question is not held centrally. This kind of research activity is commissioned by multiple teams including overseas posts and recorded on different systems. Projects may include multiple components of a), b) and c) which are not costed separately. This means that any information provided would not be fully accurate and could only be provided at disproportionate cost.
