They will continue to accredit overseas chambers in the network in 2016/17, under contract up to a maximum value of £157,680 (plus VAT).</p><p> </p><p>BCC were also subcontracted by UKTI’s main contractor for its Inward Investment Programme between 2012 and 2014 for a total value of £2,552,704.</p><p> </p><p>The former Department for Business, Innovation and Skills made a number of relatively small payments to the BCC in each of the past four years, for things such as an exhibition stand at the BCC Annual Conferences and a small number of regional events.

This offers us an opportunity to forge a new role for ourselves in the world: to negotiate, in time, our own trade agreements, including with developing countries, and to be a positive and powerful force for free trade. The Prime Minister has established the Department for International Trade to promote British trade across the world and ensure the UK takes advantage of the huge opportunities open to us. The Government is currently reviewing its trade policy. We will engage fully with a broad range of stakeholders, including both governments and business over the coming weeks and months as we prepare for the negotiation with the EU and other international partners.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Chelsea and Fulham answering member printed Greg Hands question first answered 09/09/2016 13:05:20 answering member 1526 label Biography information for Greg Hands
