answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/02/2017 answer text <p>There are currently no proposals for the UK to grant access for US agri-food products outside of the EU’s current approvals regime and hence no specific assessment has been undertaken. Until the UK leaves the EU we will continue to meet all relevant EU food safety legislation. Once we have left the EU, maintaining the UK’s high standards of food safety will remain a priority.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Gardiner of Kimble question first answered 08/02/2017 14:21:21 answering member 4161 label Biography information for Lord Gardiner of Kimble
