Question to the Department for International Trade:
To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, whether UK Export Finance staff ask for advice from diplomatic missions on agents when special handling arrangements apply.
This question was answered on 10th February 2017
UK Export Finance consistently makes enquiries on the standing of agents with the relevant UK overseas diplomatic mission as part of its due diligence on applications that it receives. Its due diligence processes are the same whether or not the applicant has requested the use of special handling arrangements.
