The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what estimate he has made of the resources allocated to improve export advisory capacity within UK business support services.

Answered by Chris Bryant

The Department for Business and Trade is putting in place the policies and support needed to drive export-led business growth.

DBT has integrated its support for SMEs in a single, accessible place – the Business Growth Service – designed to help businesses across the UK start, scale, and succeed globally. From tailored market advice to free training through the Export Academy, we are making it easier for businesses to navigate global markets, seize opportunities, and build resilience.

Our Export Champions are also sharing their experience and encouraging and inspiring new and fledgling exporters.
