answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/02/2019 answer text <p>In the event the UK leaves the EU without a deal, there would be a number of tools available to help mitigate adverse impacts for the food and drink industry, as well as for consumers and producers. These tools could include lowering applied tariffs on certain goods, alongside tariff rate suspensions and opening up autonomous tariff rate quotas.</p><p> </p><p>Different combinations of these tools would have different impacts on the food and drink industry, as would different degrees of tariff reduction.
