Question to the Department for International Trade:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to involve (1) chambers of commerce, and (2) trade associations, in the implementation of their international trade policies.
The Department engages with other British businesses directly and others, including Trade Associations and the British Chambers of Commerce. This will support utilisation of trade preferences and other opportunities offered by the trade agreements we are working to secure.
In addition, Trade Advisory Groups (TAGs) have recently been launched, which include representation from Trade Associations and provide a blend of strategic and expert advice on trade matters.
