That depends on what you mean... The definition of trunk used by the DfT is those roads which are centrally maintained (by the Highways Agency or a commercial entity under contract to HA) but are not Motorways. These days that is quite a small set as many former trunk roads have been returned to the county highway departments. The OSM definition of trunk (ie the roads to be tagged as highway=trunk) is wider and includes everything which is part of the Primary Route Network, ie all green signed A roads.
