answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/05/2018 answer text <p>The Government is pursuing a unique and ambitious economic partnership that provides the greatest possible tariff free and frictionless trade with the EU.</p><p>The UK’s favourable food security is built on access to a diverse range of sources of supply, including domestic production. This will continue to be the case after leaving the EU, even if the source of some UK food supply changes. Food supply is highly resilient with flexibility throughout the supply chain, and industry can respond quickly to ensure ongoing supply.</p><p> </p><p>Defra has longstanding mechanisms in place to work with the food industry. Our industry sector working group can jointly implement contingency plans if required. This comprises food chain Trade Associations and relevant Government Departments including Devolved Administrations and agencies.</p><p> </p><p>Defra is working closely with other Government departments, including the cross-Government Border Delivery Group (BDG), which provides oversight and assurance of departmental plans for managing the border-related impacts of leaving the EU both for Day 1 and beyond. Planning work aims to ensure three key objectives for the border are delivered: maintaining security; facilitating the flow of goods and people; revenue protection. In addition, we are working to ensure that the necessary systems and processes are in place so that trade continues to flow smoothly after we leave.</p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 04/05/2018 15:05:36 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/03/2018 answer text <p>At no point will the United Kingdom Government propose changes through the Regulating Our Future programme that would adversely impact on food security or cause difficulty to food businesses wishing to export food post European Union exit. Departments are currently working together to understand the impacts that withdrawal from the EU will have across a number of cross-cutting areas. It will be the UK Government’s priority to maintain the UK’s high standards of food and feed safety, and to ensure we take a risk-based, proportionate approach when providing risk assessments.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 21/03/2018 14:36:16 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine
