answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/01/2019 answer text <p>In the event of a ‘no deal’ European Union exit, there will be no additional controls on food and feed originating from the EU. However, third country high-risk food and feed consignments transiting the EU destined for the United Kingdom will be subject to controls and will need to enter the UK at ports with the required facilities to undertake those controls. Following detailed analysis to determine the possible number of such transits, there is sufficient existing capacity at UK ports with those facilities to undertake all relevant import controls.</p> answering member printed Baroness Manzoor question first answered 23/01/2019 11:50:51 answering member 4289 label Biography information for Baroness Manzoor
