Question to the Scotland Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, if he will make an estimate of the total value of Scottish goods and services traded with the rest of the UK in 2019; and what proportion that represents of Scotland's total exports to all countries including the rest of the UK.

The Scottish Government's own figures show that Scotland's sale of goods and services to the rest of the UK for the year 2019 had a value of £52.0 billion. This means that around 60 per cent of the total Scottish exports of over £87 billion are destined for Scotland's largest market, the rest of the UK. In 2019, the value of Scotland’s exports to the rest of the UK was approximately three times larger than the £16.4 billion sold to the EU, and also nearly three times greater than sales to international destinations that are non-EU of £18.7 billion.
