Question to the Department for International Trade:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what was the value of trade between Scotland and Israel in 2015; and what steps they are taking to further strengthen ties between Scotland and Israel.
The value of trade in goods between Scotland and Israel was £75 million in 2015 (Source: HM Revenue and Customs Regional Trade Statistics database). This does not include services, which will make this figure considerably higher.
Israel is an important trading partner for the UK and we are committed to further strengthening our important trade relationship.
