Question to the Scotland Office:
What recent assessment he has made of the value of trade between Scotland and the rest of the UK.
This question was answered on 20th May 2020
Scottish exports to the rest of the UK increased in 2018 by £1.2 billion to £51.2 billion.
The official Scottish Government figures show that more than 60 per cent of all Scottish exports go to England, Wales, and Northern Ireland.
As a result, the rest of the UK continues to be Scotland’s largest market for exports and accounting for three times the value of exports to EU countries.
