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

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what assessment his Department has made of the effect on the Welsh food processing sector's access to labour of the UK leaving the European (a) single market and (b) Customs Union.

We remain closely engaged with food and farming sectors across the UK and the Animal and Plant Health Agency to understand and analyse the labour demand and supply, now and when we leave the EU.

The Government is considering the options for future immigration system carefully and we will ensure that businesses and communities, including representatives from across the food chain, have the opportunity to contribute their views.
