answer text <p>Defra has an ambitious legislation programme to prepare for the UK’s departure from the EU and has been preparing in earnest. We have acquired staff with legislative experience from other Government departments, formed a Legislative Strategy, Capability and Better Regulations team within Defra, and bolstered our capability across the department to help with coordination and upskilling. As a result, we are confident that we can deliver our legislative programme to ensure that we have a working statute book on the day we leave the EU.</p><p> </p> more like this

To help businesses and the public prepare for March 2019 in the event of a no deal scenario, Defra has published 30 Technical Notices covering areas such as standards for animals, plants, food, chemicals, and timber.
