Question to the Department for International Trade:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what recent assessment they have made of the effectiveness of their Export Strategy.
We launched the Export Strategy in August 2018 with the goal of strengthening the UK’s position as a global trading nation.
I’m pleased to say that UK exports are at a record high, with the latest figures showing exports of £705.1 billion in the 12 months to January 2020. That is an increase of 7% year-on-year.
