question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Gardiner of Kimble on 16 April (HL6809) on food prices and the removal of external import tariffs, whether they will now answer the question.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/04/2018 answer text <p>The Government has and continues to undertake a wide range of analysis looking at the implications of UK withdrawal from the EU. Our programme of analysis is constantly developing and evolving, and includes sectoral analysis. The Government has published 14 detailed papers on the negotiations to date, and will continue to be as open as possible subject to the overwhelming national interest of preserving our negotiating position</p><p> </p><p>Ministers have a specific responsibility, endorsed by Parliament, not to release information that would undermine our negotiating position. It would therefore not be appropriate for the Government to commit to publishing a sector by sector analysis.</p><p> </p><p>The impact on food prices as a result of any future changes to import tariffs will depend on the result of EU withdrawal negotiations and the trading scenario that follows. Many external researchers have analysed the impact of both a World Trade Organisation Most Favourable Nation scenario and a unilateral liberalisation scenario. Neither of these extreme scenarios represent Government policy. The Government is pursuing a unique and ambitious economic partnership that provides the greatest possible tariff free and frictionless trade with the EU. This is a mutually beneficial choice and we are confident we can achieve this. We are also pursuing new trade deals with countries outside the EU.</p><p>The most important drivers of change in the cost of food are commodity prices, exchange rates and oil prices. These drivers will continue to apply in any trading agreement we reach with the EU.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Gardiner of Kimble question first answered 27/04/2018 10:51:48 answering member 4161 label Biography information for Lord Gardiner of Kimble
