Question to the Department for Business and Trade:
To ask His Majesty's Government whether they plan to appoint trade envoys to (1) the United States of America, (2) India, and (3) China; and if not, why not.
We have not appointed a Trade Envoy to the United States of America, India or China. We recognise the importance of each of these markets to the government’s growth mission, however, markets such as these already have significant diplomatic, trade and investment networks, as well as receiving regular high-level visits by Ministers.
