Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what discussions he has had with the Welsh government on the need for a support fund for sheep farmers in the event that there is no agreement on the future relationship between the UK and the EU.

The UK-EU Trade and Cooperation Agreement is now in effect. Under this agreement there are no tariffs on the export of UK produced lamb and sheep meat to the EU.

The Government prepared extensively for the possibility of no agreement on the future relationship between the UK and the EU, working closely with the Devolved Administrations, to put in place a range of contingency plans to minimise disruption for the food and farming sectors.
