Asked by: Kemi Badenoch (Conservative - Saffron Walden)
Question to the Department for International Trade:
To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, whether he has made an assessment of the effect on the food and farming industry of allowing imported agricultural goods produced to lower standards than is required of UK producers.
Answered by George Hollingbery
The Government has been clear that we will maintain our high standards on food safety and environmental protection as part of any future trade deals.
When it comes to products imported to the UK, quality and safety will continue to be paramount. Without exception, imports must meet all the relevant UK product rules and regulations.
