Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what steps his Department is taking to protect the UK poultry meat sector from lower quality, cheaper imports in future trade negotiations.

Any future trade agreements must work for UK producers, businesses, and consumers, and uphold the UK’s high levels of food safety, animal welfare standards, and environmental protection.

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.
