answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/05/2016 answer text <p>60% of our food and drink exports go to the EU; this is worth £11 billion to our economy. This is a vital income for UK farmers and fishermen. If we were to leave the EU, exporters would face crippling tariffs when selling their goods to Europe, such as up to 70% for beef products, which would cost around £240 million per year.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 05/05/2016 15:55:23 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart
