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

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if his Department will repeat the 2010 Food Security Assessment to inform thinking on the forthcoming Agriculture Bill.

We have already undertaken to review the UK Food Security Assessment. The Assessment covers all aspects of food security including international trade and global resource sustainability, so the scope is much wider than purely domestic production. The 2009/10 review concluded that we have a high degree of food security in the UK.
