Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, how many staff in his Department's Trade Policy Group have experience of working on the UN sustainable development goals.

The Department for International Trade has a strong core of trade policy officials working on various aspects of trade policy, including sustainable development. We are working closely with various other Government Departments with relevant expertise, including particularly officials from the Department for International Development, who are working alongside DIT officials, on achievement of the UN sustainable development goals.
