Asked by: Rebecca Pow (Conservative - Taunton Deane)
Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :
To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, what recent discussions he has had with the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs on agricultural policy after the UK leaves the EU.
Answered by Kwasi Kwarteng
We continue to have regular conversations with ministerial colleagues across Government on all aspects of exiting the EU, including agricultural policy.
The Agriculture Bill is part of the Government’s programme of critical legislation to deliver a smooth Exit from the European Union and seize the opportunities of a green Brexit. It will allow us to break from the EU’s Common Agricultural Policy and free farmers to continue producing world-class produce.
