Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what discussions he has had with the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs on the potential effect of trade tariffs on agricultural products on the agriculture industry after the UK leaves the EU.

We are working closely with both the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and the Department for Exiting the EU to ensure that we obtain the best possible arrangements for our agricultural trade both with the EU and the rest of the world. We are not going to give a running commentary on those discussions at this stage.
