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

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if he will make an assessment of the effect on the agricultural sector of the UK leaving the EU without agreeing a trade deal with the EU.

Leaving the EU presents a major opportunity for UK agriculture. We are working towards securing the best possible deal for the UK agriculture industry.

The Government is in the process of carrying out a programme of rigorous and extensive analytical work on a range of scenarios on a sector by sector basis.
