Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, which five UK sectors exported the largest value of goods to Australia in the last year for which figures are available; and what percentage of goods exported to Australia did they each contribute.

HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) is responsible for the collection and publication of data on UK imports and exports of goods to and from the UK. HMRC releases this information monthly, as a National Statistic called the Overseas Trade in Goods Statistics (OTS), available via their dedicated website www.uktradeinfo.com.

As part of the wider OTS portfolio, HMRC publishes annual statistics on international trade by particular business characteristics - industry group (sectors), age of business and size of business. The latest published statistics (2021) including exports of goods to Australia appears in the table found here: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/uk-trade-in-goods-by-business-characteristics-2021-data-tables.
