answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/01/2019 answer text <p><strong></strong></p><p>The Government, through our overseas network, HM Trade Commissioners, and through Ministerial and Trade Envoy visits, works actively to support trade and reduce barriers for UK companies looking to export to Asia by engaging with the region’s governments and business sectors. Recently we’ve secured market access for UK dairy products to China, worth £240m over five years, and beef and lamb to Japan, worth £127m over five years. We are also lobbying multilaterally, establishing a UK Mission to ASEAN in 2019, and are considering the possibility of the CPTPP as a priority FTA once we leave the EU.</p> answering member constituency Beverley and Holderness answering member printed Graham Stuart question first answered 16/01/2019 17:19:46 answering member 1482 label Biography information for Graham Stuart

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/01/2019 answer text <p>The UK produces billions of pounds worth of high-quality goods and services each year, and there is a clear demand from around the world for these products with UK exports rising 2.0% (12bn) to <strong>£626.4bn</strong>, in the 12 months ending October 2018. [<em>ONS UK Trade: October 2018</em>]. The Export Strategy, launched in August 2018, sets out how the Government will encourage, inform, connect and finance UK businesses to enable them to take advantage of this international demand.</p><p> </p><p>The Department for International Trade’s offer to UK businesses includes impartial export advice from International Trade Advisors and our overseas network in markets across the world. British businesses are also promoted via the government’s network of Trade Envoys and given assistance in the Midlands and Northern Powerhouse through our Export Champions.</p><p> </p><p>The Department also runs a major UK facing marketing campaign called “Exporting is Great” which inspires and encourages business to start exporting and seek new markets. The campaign is UK wide and includes a mobile outreach export hub.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>DIT is building on the Export Strategy with a whole of Government Approach and has recently enhanced digital service on great.gov.uk which allows business to connect to over 20,000 export opportunities and ensures finance is at the heart of its offer: in 2017/18 UKEF provided £2.5bn in support, helping 191 UK companies sell to 75 markets around the world. 77% of these companies were SMEs.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The full Export Strategy can be found here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/export-strategy-supporting-and-connecting-businesses-to-grow-on-the-world-stage" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/export-strategy-supporting-and-connecting-businesses-to-grow-on-the-world-stage</a></p> answering member constituency Beverley and Holderness answering member printed Graham Stuart question first answered 15/01/2019 11:24:38 answering member 1482 label Biography information for Graham Stuart
