Lords ChamberI really wish I had not paused for breath at that particular moment. Discussions will happen with the Department of Health and Social Care, Defra and BEIS, and we will all look at the amount of class 1 goods that need to come into the country. DfT will then be tasked to ensure that that can go ahead.
Following on from that answer, will my noble friend commit to publishing a comprehensive update on the Government’s preparedness for no deal?
It would be inappropriate for me to commit to that at this time, but I am sure that the Government are listening.
