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

To ask Her Majesty's Government how they will put in place a negotiated UK framework for agricultural trade and policies between the nations and regions of the UK once the UK has left the European Union.


This question was answered on 20th September 2017

We are committed to working closely with the devolved administrations on an approach to returning powers from the EU that works for the whole of the UK and reflects the devolution settlements of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Common frameworks should only be established where they are needed, whether this is to maintain a functioning UK internal market, put us in a strong negotiating position to strike trade deals, or to provide the certainty needed to agree and meet international obligations.

The Government expects that the return of powers from the EU will lead to a significant increase in the decision making powers for the devolved administrations.
