answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/01/2018 answer text <p>The GPA mutually opens procurement markets, providing opportunities worth around £1.3 trillion globally each year. There is no consistent data on the total value of procurement contracts won by UK businesses or foreign companies across all GPA members. The Trade Bill Impact Assessment gives the value of direct contract awards to UK businesses within the EU which are covered by the GPA. This averaged £609 million per year (across 2014 and 2015). The GPA also provides protection for UK subsidiaries set up in GPA Parties by ensuring they cannot be discriminated against on the basis of foreign affiliation.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Chelsea and Fulham answering member printed Greg Hands question first answered 17/01/2018 11:59:00 answering member 1526 label Biography information for Greg Hands
