Written Question
Digital Technology: Exports
Thursday 21st April 2022

Asked by: Dehenna Davison (Conservative - Bishop Auckland)

Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what steps her Department has taken to increase exports of digital services.

Answered by Mike Freer

The UK has been at the forefront of seizing the benefits of digital trade, including through our FTA programme. For example, the UK-Singapore Digital Economy Agreement, signed in February, represents the most innovative digital trade agreement ever signed. Already, DIT has engaged nearly 100 companies through a webinar and trade mission on the benefits of the deal for business. The Department also has a Digital Exporting Programme which helps SME to increase exports through digital channels, for example those in the music industry. So far, the Programme has supported in excess of 10,000 companies.
