Question to the Wales Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, what discussions he has had with the First Minister on promoting exports by Welsh businesses.

Welsh exports have increased by almost a third since the beginning of 2010, a clear demonstration of the success of this Government’s long-term economic plan to rebalance the Welsh economy.

I welcome the Welsh Government’s move to work more collaboratively with the UK Government on exports, and the First Minister’s recognition of the vital and important role the UKTI plays.
