Recommendation 6

Intertrade UK has the potential to be a key source of advice and solutions for the UK Government, but its Board membership needs to be broader to ensure that the east-west trade challenges faced by GB-based businesses are considered. It has taken longer than necessary for the Government to establish Intertrade UK. We expect more agility now it is funded and its work programme is in place. We plan to engage with it and may suggest pieces of work for it to undertake. (Conclusion, Paragraph 39)
