(asked on 6th October 2020) - View Source

Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what steps they intend to take to enforce protections for food and product safety and standards in trade deals.


This question was answered on 19th October 2020

We remain committed to our high food safety, environmental, product and labour standards, and will use the full range of measures available to us to uphold Britain’s high regulatory standards.

HM Government passed the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018, to convert EU law – as it was applied as of exit – into the law of the land. Furthermore, my Rt Hon. Friend the Secretary of State for International Trade established the Trade and Agriculture Commission to independently advise HM Government on how to ensure that British food safety and production standards are protected throughout trade negotiations.
