Asked by: Fiona Bruce (Conservative - Congleton)
Question to the Department for Business and Trade:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, if she will make an assessment of the potential impact of the inclusion of cocoa and milk products on the list of prohibited goods by UK postal carriers on small chocolate producers exporting to the EU.
Answered by Nigel Huddleston
The Government has no current plans to make an assessment of impacts of such decisions on small chocolate producers. We would, however, welcome any further information and evidence from small chocolate producers on this concern.
