Minister of State for Trade

Minister of State for Trade
"Trade Minister" redirects here. For general usage, see Commerce minister.

The Minister of State for Trade is an executive position in the Government of the United Kingdom, in both the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills. The post is responsible for the activities of UK Trade & Investment (UKTI).

Although only a junior Minister of State position, it is considered to be one of the most important jobs outside Cabinet rank. When Douglas Alexander became Minister of State for Trade in September 2004, he was given a special provision to attend the Cabinet meetings.
