	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/01/2022 answer text <p>The Australia Free Trade Agreement (FTA) includes various instruments to protect British agricultural interests. Quotas on products such as beef set a maximum level for tariff-free imports for up to 10 years. Product specific safeguards for beef and lamb allow the UK to impose higher tariffs when imports exceed a certain threshold in years 10 to 15. On lamb, quota and safeguard volumes can be periodically reduced by 25% when fill rates are high. Additionally, a general bilateral safeguard mechanism allows for the temporary withdrawal of tariff preferences which will protect industry.</p> answering member constituency Portsmouth North answering member printed Penny Mordaunt question first answered 11/01/2022 14:51:16 answering member 4017 label Biography information for Penny Mordaunt
