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

To ask Her Majesty's Government what discussions they have had with representatives of the farming industry in England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland concerning post-Brexit agricultural policy.

Ministers and officials are in regular contact with stakeholders from all four nations of the UK and discuss a wide range of issues, including future agricultural policy.

Outside of the Common Agricultural Policy we can have an agriculture and land management policy that works for the whole of the United Kingdom. Intrinsic to our approach will be as much flexibility as possible for each devolved administration to design policies to meet their own circumstances, subject to the establishment of common UK frameworks where necessary, consistent with the principles agreed by the Joint Ministerial Committee.
