Trade Missions

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, which members of the National Farmers' Union (a) were invited to and (b) attended the Northern Powerhouse Trade Mission to Gulfood 2017.

Answer

The Northern Powerhouse Trade Mission to Gulfood was to support food and drink businesses and was promoted to all businesses in the north to join. A number of the businesses participating are potentially connected to farming by nature of their products, but membership of the National Farmers’ Union is not a criteria we require or record from participants.
