Thank you, Cabinet Secretary. Brexit poses some major questions around the resilience of our food supplies to enable us to feed our populations. We currently import £9 billion-worth of fruit and vegetables across the UK, and that compares with a mere £1 billion-worth of vegetables and fruit that we grow here in the UK. So, there are some pretty major issues around food security if the UK Government were to fail to negotiate a seamless customs union.

You clearly don't need to have it pointed out to you that vegetables and fruit are going to deteriorate extremely rapidly if they are held up at Dover, Southampton or Cardiff Airport. And, given the importance of fruit and vegetables to a healthy diet, I'm sure you'll agree with me that this is a major strategic issue. Even today, we are having difficulty in getting the people to pick the produce that we do grow in this country because European citizens are being made to feel unwelcome or because of the change in the value of the pound. 

We know from the expert panels that you have been using to advise you on Brexit that the future already looks very challenging for sheep farmers under any of the outcome scenarios around Brexit.
