Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, how many attendances at events by businesses have been facilitated by the Tradeshow Access programme in each (a) year of the present Parliament and (b) of the last 12 months.
The Tradeshow Access Programme (TAP) is one of a wider suite of UKTI products and services offering event and mission support for businesses.
Financial Year | Events | Business Attendances |
2010/11 | 390 | 4,100* |
2011/12 | 350 | 3,200* |
2012/13 | 305 | 5,796 |
2013/14 | 408 | 9,427 |
1 January 2014 to 31 December 2014 | 384 | 10,000 |
*Business attendances as a result of non-grant services were only recorded from 2012/2013 and would have been in addition to the numbers for companies supported financially in the years 2010/11 and 2011/12.
