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

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what recent estimate his Department has made of the proportion of goods consignments from Great Britain to Northern Ireland that contain agri-food products.

Data on flows of agri-food products between Great Britain and Northern Ireland are not available from published datasets. Defra has been working with port operators, ferry companies and logistics companies to understand these flows; however, the data themselves are commercially sensitive and cannot be shared publicly.
