Written Question
Department for International Trade: Training
Tuesday 17th January 2023

Asked by: Bernard Jenkin (Conservative - Harwich and North Essex)

Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, how many officials from his Department have attended courses on international trade with the World Trade Organisation in each year since 2016; and if she will make a statement.

Answered by Nigel Huddleston - Shadow Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport

Most trade-related training in the Department for International Trade is organised by a central team, and the team has not arranged for any individuals or teams to attend courses at the World Trade Organisation (WTO). We have no records of anyone independently attending WTO courses.
