answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/04/2024 answer text <p>There is no assessment specific to the retail sector in Slough. Overall, the new Border Target Operating model will not reduce choice for domestic consumers and will lead to an approximate increase in consumer food price inflation of less than 0.2 percentage points over a 3-year period. The proposed regime aims to balance the impact on traders with the need to maintain UK biosecurity, which is essential to ensuring a supply of safe food to consumers. We are working closely with traders and the border industry to implement the new regime and minimise impact.</p> answering member constituency Sherwood answering member printed Sir Mark Spencer question first answered 29/04/2024 13:41:07 answering member 4055 label Biography information for Sir Mark Spencer
