We are committed to securing a deal that works for the entire United Kingdom - for Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and all parts of England.
The UK Government has established a Ministerial Forum on EU Negotiations to discuss a range of issues, including on food policy, in relation to negotiations on the UK's Future Relationship with the EU and provide the Devolved Administrations with an increased opportunity to contribute to the development of the UK's negotiating position in greater breadth and depth.

Question
to the Department for Exiting the European Union :
To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, what role food policy plays in the UK's negotiations with the EU; and which food policy experts the Government has consulted in order to develop its negotiating position.
Answered by Chris Heaton-Harris
As we leave the EU, we are clear: consumers must be confident that food has been produced to a high standard. As set out in the White Paper on the future relationship between the United Kingdom and the European Union, we are seeking a new partnership that ensures continued tariff-free and frictionless trade in food, drink and other agricultural products between the UK and the EU.
There is regular engagement with colleagues across Whitehall and with industry across the UK, including with the Food and Drink Federation, to inform the UK’s negotiating position.

Question
to the Department for Exiting the European Union :
To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, whether he has made an assessment of the effect of leaving the (a) EU and (b) European Court of Justice on resolving disputes about medicines and medical devices.
Answered by Robin Walker
The UK has one of the strongest and most productive life sciences sectors in the world. This Government is committed to ensuring a positive outcome for the sector, that enhances competitiveness and builds on the success that we are rightly proud of, as we exit the European Union.
The UK will engage constructively to negotiate an approach to enforcement and dispute resolution for the future partnership which meets the key objectives of the UK and the EU, including for the life sciences sector. This will underpin the deep and special partnership we are seeking with the EU.
