Question to the Department for International Trade:
To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what estimate he has made of the value of UK exports secured through the US Department of Defense Foreign Comparative Testing Program since 2010.
Between 1980 and 2016 UK companies have received $483m in FCT Test and Evaluation funding and secured $3.17bn in follow-on acquisitions (averaging nearly $90m per year), more than double that of the next country (Germany). For the 2016/2017 period UK companies are participating in 14 ongoing Test & Evaluation programmes.
