The UK and Morocco discuss trade in foodstuffs within the context of the UK-Morocco Association Agreement. The UK Government is aware, including through these discussions, of the impact of poor weather earlier this year on the harvest, leading to the price of some goods increasing. DEFRA Minister the Rt Hon. the Lord Benyon recently visited Morocco and signed a Memorandum of Understanding to strengthen collaboration in the agricultural sector, which we hope will support better mitigation of climate risks.</p> answering member constituency Macclesfield answering member printed David Rutley question first answered 15/06/2023 15:22:18 answering member 4033 label Biography information for David Rutley

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/06/2023 answer text <p>We tailor our support to British nationals depending on the type of case and the specific circumstances and what we consider to be in their best interests. This includes raising individual cases with the relevant overseas authorities, including at Ministerial level, where appropriate. While case numbers change daily, we publish transparency data on gov.uk [https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/consular-data] with the number of new cases for each case type and each country every month and then annually. It is not mandatory for UK nationals to report incidents to the FCDO, or our diplomatic missions, so the data we provide only covers incidents reported to us.</p> answering member constituency Macclesfield answering member printed David Rutley question first answered 20/06/2023 16:51:28 answering member 4033 label Biography information for David Rutley
