Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of not including eggs as a sensitive sector in the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership on the domestic egg farming sector.

There have been no imports of eggs from CPTPP members to the UK since 2015. Global trade flows on shell eggs remain minimal as it is not practical to trade shell eggs over long distances.

The full Impact Assessment for the UK's accession to CPTPP will be published by the Department for Business and Trade in due course.
