InterTrade UK: Finance
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, how much funding has been allocated to Intertrade UK since its establishment; from which departmental budget that funding has been provided; and what that funding is intended to support.
Answered by Hilary Benn
The UK Government provided Intertrade UK with £2.25m funding as part of the wider £16.6m Internal Market Package at Autumn Budget 2025. The funding allocation is split evenly over three financial years, commencing in 2026/2027.
Intertrade UK was established by the UK Government to advise on and promote trade across the UK’s internal market. The funding has been provided to enable Intertrade UK to deliver on its published work programme which can be viewed here.
