Thursday 12th October 2017

Asked by: Matt Warman (Conservative - Boston and Skegness)

Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what recent assessment he has made of trends in demand for UK exports.

Answered by Liam Fox

All ministers have observed a strong interest in British goods and services overseas. This is supported by the EEF, who said:

“Britain’s manufacturers are enjoying buoyant conditions on the back of export markets going from strength to strength.”

Latest trade figures also show that in the year to August 2017, UK exports have increased 13.1% on the previous 12 months.
