Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if he will make an assessment of the cost to florists of border delays for the import of flowers after the UK leaves the EU.

The Government is committed to securing a deep and special partnership with the EU and wants to secure the freest trade possible in goods and services between the UK and the EU. We are confident we can achieve this, supporting trade and the smooth flow of goods across the border.
