The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, how many officials in his Department have travelled to the United States of America (a) in the last 3 months and (b) since 5 November 2024.

Answered by Justin Madders

We look forward to continuing to engage with the current and incoming US Administrations in the usual way. This includes through officials in the British Embassy in Washington DC, and our eight consulates around the United States, who continue to engage businesses and investors to champion UK interests and encourage collaboration and investment to help grow the UK economy.
