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

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what arrangements are being made to secure accommodation for UK bodies set up to carry on the functions of EU agencies in his Department's area of responsibility in the event of the UK leaving the EU without an agreement.

The Defra group is working to ensure we have the capacity in the estate to accommodate an increased workforce, including the establishment of any potential new agencies. This includes considering the implications of the UK leaving the EU without an agreement.
