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

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what estimate he has made of the potential costs of associate membership of EU agencies in his Department's area of responsibility when the UK leaves the EU.

The potential costs of associate membership of EU agencies, where applicable, will be considered as part of the review of medium term funding requirements for activities related to leaving the EU that Defra and other Departments will be working on with HM Treasury later this year.
