answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/05/2024 answer text <p>Our analysis has shown a minimal impact on food prices and consumers. Our new risk-based model has been designed to minimise costs for traders and consumers. Government analysis estimates the cost of the new model to be £330m per annum overall, across all EU imports. Traders will save around £520m per annum versus the model originally proposed, while the inflationary impacts on food for consumers will be, at most, less than 0.2 percentage points over a 3-year period.</p> answering member constituency Sherwood answering member printed Sir Mark Spencer question first answered 14/05/2024 17:01:58 answering member 4055 label Biography information for Sir Mark Spencer

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/05/2024 answer text <p>The new import health control regime aims to achieve the lowest regulatory obligation for businesses, consistent with the need to protect biosecurity and public health and to safeguard the UK’s reputation for high regulatory standards. The additional costs for businesses associated with the BTOM are substantially less than they would have been if we had extended the inherited EU 3rd country model, currently applied to non-EU goods, to all imports.</p> answering member constituency Sherwood answering member printed Sir Mark Spencer question first answered 13/05/2024 15:50:22 answering member 4055 label Biography information for Sir Mark Spencer
