Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :

To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, what discussions his Department has had with the (a) Welsh and (b) Scottish Governments on ensuring an adequate food supply in the event that the UK leaves the EU without a deal.

It is the job of a responsible Government to prepare for all scenarios, including the unlikely event that we reach March 2019 without agreeing a deal. The Department has held regular discussions with the Welsh and Scottish Governments and the Northern Ireland Civil Service on operational readiness for a ‘no deal’ scenario and will continue to do so.
