To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether she has plans to visit (a) Adelaide, (b) Melbourne, and (c) Hobart in the next nine months.

Party Chair, Conservative Party, Minister of State (Department for Business and Trade)
Following the Secretary of State’s visit to Australia last year to promote utilisation of the Australia-UK Free Trade Agreement (FTA), shortly after it entered into force, there are currently no plans for her to visit in the coming months.
Representatives of His Majesty’s Government, including ministers, the Prime Minister’s Trade Envoy, High Commissioner and Consul General, regularly visit Adelaide, Melbourne and Hobart. The Government already has a strong trade and investment relationship with Australia which has been further strengthened by the FTA.

Secretary of State was originally the title given to the two officials who conducted the Royal Correspondence under Elizabeth I. Now it is the title held by some of the more important Government Ministers, for example the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
