Department for International Trade: Civil Servants
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, how many civil servants worked on assisting businesses with EU trade matters in each of the past three years.
- Answer
-
As the Department for International Trade (DIT) has many initiatives to assist businesses in trading with the EU and beyond, it is difficult to provide exact numbers of staff who have assisted businesses. However, we do have staff in our Export Support Service (ESS), which acts as a single point of access for exporters through a digital enquiry service. We also have over 300 International Trade Advisers (ITAs) supporting small and medium size enterprises (SMEs) across England to build their exporting capability. Finally, DIT Europe Region has approximately 300 staff in 40 offices across 33 countries.
