Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what steps her Department has taken to help increase exports to the Netherlands in the last two years.

The Government is committed to driving forward export growth and helping UK businesses export to markets across the globe including the Netherlands. UK exports to the Netherlands amounted to £55.3 billion in the 12 months to September 2023, an increase of 0.9% or £0.5 billion in current prices compared to the previous 12 months, making the Netherlands the UK’s 4^th largest export market.

The DBT Netherlands team continues to focus on building strategic relations with UK and Dutch businesses, identify and advocate opportunities for UK products to meet Dutch demand, and assist UK companies to make the most of those opportunities.
