answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/01/2023 answer text <p>Through our Export Strategy, the Department for International Trade (DIT) is working in partnership with business to help all UK firms, including those in the events industry, realise the benefits of international trade. Although the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport has primary responsibility for the domestic events industry, DIT recognises and applauds the contribution made by the sector to the UK economy.

(<strong>source: DCMS Economic Estimates</strong>)</p><p> </p><p>DIT support for UK companies at such business events, including arranging inward delegations of buyers and curating B2B meetings onsite, illustrates our commitment to the sector and the pivotal role it plays in our economic growth and global soft power, through the export sales process.</p> answering member constituency West Aberdeenshire and Kincardine answering member printed Andrew Bowie question first answered 17/01/2023 16:30:16 answering member 4601 label Biography information for Andrew Bowie
