The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for International Trade (Mike Freer)
ConservativeFinchley and Golders Green
The Prime Minister has today made three new appointments to his trade envoy programme. The appointments are:
My right hon. Friend the Member for Basingstoke (Maria Miller) has been appointed as the Prime Minister’s trade envoy to Canada
My right hon. Friend the Member for Maldon (John Whittingdale) has been appointed as the Prime Minister’s trade envoy to the Republic of Korea
The right hon. Lord Hutton of Furness (John Hutton) has been appointed as the Prime Minister’s trade envoy to Turkey.
The new appointments will extend the total number of trade envoys to 40 parliamentarians, covering 80 markets. The role as a Prime Minister’s trade envoy is unpaid and voluntary with cross-party membership from both Houses. The broad role supports the UK’s ambitious trade and investment agenda by championing Global Britain and promoting the UK as a destination of choice for inward investment. They also support the UK’s economic recovery through the levelling up agenda, by helping business take advantage of the opportunities arising in export markets.
