Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, with reference to the Office for Budget Responsibility publication entitled Economic and fiscal outlook, published in March 2023, what assessment his Department has made of the sectors most likely to be impacted by the 6.6 per cent fall in exports in 2023 referenced in that document.

Growing UK exports to reach £1 trillion by 2030 is at the centre of the UK’s export ambitions, with all sectors of the economy needing to contribute to this shared goal. The UK’s Export Strategy is addressing barriers to exporting through a 12-point plan.
