Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what estimate he has made of the number of jobs in (a) Bristol and (b) the South West that depend on trade with the EU.

The Government is working to secure an FTA with the EU and to build our global trading links with the rest of the world to support jobs across the UK. Our regional teams of international trade advisors in the UK encourage and support British businesses to start, increase or sustain their exporting activity. We offer financial support to help small and medium UK businesses gain market access and exposure through tradeshows as part of our strategic approach to exporting.
