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

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether she has had discussions with Cabinet colleagues on the potential merits of bringing forward a strategy on food and drink imports.

The Secretary of State has regular discussions with Cabinet colleagues on a range of issues, and Cabinet discussions are considered confidential. We enjoy a high degree of domestic food security, based on strong domestic production as well as imports. The Government Food Strategy was published in June 2022 which set out a plan to transform our food system to ensure it is fit for the future.
