Question to the Department for International Trade:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what steps are being taken by ministers in the Department for International Trade to explain to future trading partners the animal welfare and environmental standards which will apply to any future trade deals.
Conversations with our trading partners about our future trading arrangements are at an early stage, and it is too soon to say what will be covered in future deals. However, we are very clear that future agreements must uphold our high animal welfare and environmental standards.
