The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what estimate he has made of the skills support required to help UK firms expand into new export markets.

The Department for Business and Trade (DBT) is committed to providing businesses with the support, advice and skills they need to export across the globe.

Businesses can access DBT’s wealth of export support via business.gov.uk. This includes support via the UK Export Academy, a free, comprehensive learning and development programme that boosts British businesses’ global trading capability.
