Tasmina Ahmed-Sheikh – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department for International Trade

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Tasmina Ahmed-Sheikh on 2016-10-07.

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what targets the Government has set for the growth of UK exports by 2020.

Greg Hands

The Government’s priorities remain to increase the number of businesses exporting, and the value of UK exports. The manifesto set the target for UK export value to be at £1 trillion in 2020 and to have 100k more exporters in 2020 than in 2010. The scale of these targets demonstrate the ambition this Government has for making the UK an exporting nation again.
