Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what assessment his Department had made of the potential effect on the UK organic milk industry's trade with the US of the UK leaving the EU.
The UK Government is committed to seeking continuity in its current trade and investment relationships. Initial discussions between Defra officials and their US counterparts have made it clear that enabling trade in organic products between the UK and the US to continue is in the interest of both parties.
