Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the impact of their plans for dynamic alignment with the EU on food and drink on (1) trade deals with other nations, and (2) the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership; and whether such dynamic alignment with the EU would take precedence over those existing trade deals.

It has not proved possible to respond to this question in the time available before Prorogation. Ministers will correspond directly with the Member.
