	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/12/2022 answer text <p>It is impossible to provide an accurate number of staff allocated to deal with issues related to international trade within the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS), as this number has and will continue to flex in line with government and departmental priorities at any given time. BEIS’ interests in international trade span trade with the EU, trade with the rest of the world, and domestic policy and consequently officials may be working on international trade issues alongside their core roles. There is a team in BEIS who are solely dedicated to international trade and who act as a central point of co-ordination across the range of these workstreams. Over the past five years the headcount figures of full time employees for this team are 37.5 for 2018, 28.2 for 2019, 18.4 for 2020, 17.7 for 2021 and 16.8 for 2022.</p> answering member constituency Thirsk and Malton answering member printed Kevin Hollinrake question first answered 16/12/2022 14:39:41 answering member 4474 label Biography information for Kevin Hollinrake
