Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
What discussions she has had with the Secretary of State for International Trade on support for UK alcoholic beverage manufacturers to export their products.
The Government provides a wide range of support to alcohol manufacturers – through trade shows, hosting bespoke ‘meet the buyer’ events in the UK and abroad, raising the sector’s profile at global events and tackling market access barriers.
My Rt hon Friend the Secretary of State would be happy to raise this issue with my Rt hon Friend the Secretary of State for International Trade when they meet later today.
