Question to the Department for International Trade:
To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, whether the Government plans for all future trade agreements to be conditional upon animal welfare requirements.
Answered by Conor Burns
Any future trade deals must work for UK consumers, farmers and food manufacturers. The Government shares the British public’s high regard for our animal welfare standards and has made clear that we will not compromise on these standards. After EU Exit, the UK will decide how we set and maintain our own standards and regulations. Imports will have to meet all the relevant UK product rules and regulations.
