answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/09/2021 answer text <p>The UK has a highly resilient food supply chain, as demonstrated throughout the Covid-19 response. It is well equipped to deal with situations with the potential to cause disruption. Our high degree of food security is built on access to a range of sources, including robust supply chains domestically, and from other countries, including supplementing our excellent domestic production of fresh vegetables and fruit with imports of produce that cannot be grown here for all or part of the year. In the latest statistical release of Agriculture in the UK (July 2021), vegetables and fruit were the largest value imported commodity group in 2020.</p><p>Defra has well established ways of working with the industry and across Government to monitor risks that may arise. This includes extensive, regular and ongoing engagement with food retailers in preparedness for, and response to, issues with the potential to cause disruption to food supply chains, including those for fresh produce.</p> answering member constituency Banbury answering member printed Victoria Prentis question first answered 21/09/2021 16:19:49 answering member 4401 label Biography information for Victoria Prentis

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/09/2021 answer text <p>As the Minister of State for the Middle East and North Africa stated in the House on 15 September, it remains difficult to put a precise number on the number of UK nationals remaining in Afghanistan. We have evacuated over 8000 British nationals to date and we believe that the vast majority of UK nationals who wanted to leave and had valid documentation were evacuated. Since then, more UK nationals have sought assistance and more than 4,200 individuals as of today have signed up to the FCDO's &quot;Register your Presence in Afghanistan&quot;. We are working to verify how many of these are British nationals and are continuing to look at all possible avenues to ensure that any British Nationals are able to leave safely if they wish to.</p> answering member constituency Cannock Chase answering member printed Amanda Milling question first answered 20/09/2021 16:48:01 answering member 4454 label Biography information for Dame Amanda Milling
