Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what meetings he has had with companies that source palm oil in their supply chain as part of preparing for future trade deals after the UK leaves the EU.

My Rt Hon. Friend the Secretary of State for International Trade regularly meets with stakeholders including businesses to understand their views on our future trade policy. Palm oil is a commodity commonly sourced in food and other industry supply chains so this information could only be gathered at disproportionate cost to the taxpayer.
