Trade Missions: Scotland

Question: To ask Her Majesty's Government what information they hold on Scottish company representation on trade missions organised by the UK Government.

Answer: All UK companies, including those located or operating in Scotland, are able to access the Department for International Trade’s (DIT) national events and missions programme. This is viewable on great.gov.uk which is promoted nationally. DIT keeps a record of all companies who take part in trade missions so that we can ensure we continue to support them throughout their export journey, including any export wins. In the first six months of this financial year, 19 Scottish companies took part in missions organised by DIT.
