Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask Her Majesty's Government when they expect to appoint a replacement Trade Envoy to Morocco.

The Department for International Trade is constantly reviewing suitable markets to identify where the appointment of a Trade Envoy can be of greatest benefit to the trade and investment aims of the UK.

The former Trade Envoy to Morocco resigned on the 5^th July and a recommendation will be made to the next Prime Minister in due course.
