answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/09/2016 answer text <p>Following her appointment on 13 July 2016 the Prime Minister established the Department for International Trade (DIT). The DIT aggregates UK Trade and Investment (UKTI), UK Export and Finance (UKEF), Trade Policy Units from the Department for Business, Energy &amp; Industrial Strategy (BEIS), as well as some new hires.</p><p>Until such time as a transfer of functions order establishes the Secretary of State as a corporation sole, DIT remains a unified Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) and Department for Business, Energy &amp; Industrial Strategy (BEIS) department for accounting purposes.</p><p>The use of secondments and contractors to provide commercial and sectorial experience, not readily available in the civil service and to provide additional resource for limited periods is occasionally required. DIT does not set budgets for the use of secondees, external contractors or consultants as each are deployed flexibly in line with business need. As such we cannot provide details of budgets allocated from 2016 to 2020.</p><p>For reference, expenditure on secondees currently equates to approximately £14, 299.27 per month. Expenditure on contractors and consultants for 2015/16 was approximately £26.5 million. These costs are subject to fluctuation as the Department responds to changing requirements. Contractor costs reflect the level of senior specialist, technical and commercial knowledge required by the former UKTI department to support British businesses in international markets, and with overseas investors looking to invest in the UK.</p> answering member constituency Chelsea and Fulham answering member printed Greg Hands question first answered 12/09/2016 11:12:50 answering member 1526 label Biography information for Greg Hands

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/08/2016 answer text <p>During the two-year pilot of the Overseas Business Network initiative (OBNi) (2013/14 and 2014/15), the former UK Trade &amp; Investment trialled a number of initiatives with the BCC for which they were granted £1.6m. This included accrediting the overseas service providers, mainly chambers of commerce, and co-ordinating UK-end activity.</p><p>In 2015/16, BCC were contracted to continue to accredit overseas delivery partners and deliver one global conference, for which they received a total of £334,225 (incl. of VAT). 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. These payments total around £22,000 across the four years.</p> answering member printed Lord Price question first answered 04/08/2016 12:36:24 answering member 4570 label Biography information for Lord Price
