Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :

To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, what steps he is taking to ensure that the food requirements of each of the four nations of the UK are taken into account when negotiating agreements relating to the food sector for when the UK leaves the EU.

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.
