<p>The agricultural sector plays an important role in the economy and society of Northern
Ireland and we will do everything possible to safeguard the sector as the UK leaves
the EU. That is best done by securing a deal with the EU, which remains the clear
focus of this Government. With that said, the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland
and Ministerial team have been working closely with colleagues across Government and
engaging with the Northern Ireland Civil Service, including the Department of Agriculture,
Environment and Rural Affairs, to identify how we can best support the agricultural
community in the event of a ‘no-deal'.</p><p> </p>
