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
