We should hope for the best, but we have to prepare for the worst. I'm afraid I can't share the sunny uplands of opportunity post Brexit. I'm unable to see them at the moment.

There's nothing but uncertainty on what the UK Government's position is going to be in these trading negotiations. As you point out in your statement, there will be winners and there will be losers. So, the thing I wanted to raise in particular were the issues of food safety and food security, briefly mentioned by Neil Hamilton. But the spectre of chlorinated chicken and hormone-adulterated beef still loom large in any negotiations that we might have with the United States, if we have already conceded watering down food standards in our negotiations with the European Union.

What will happen to our climate emergency carbon reduction commitments if we are content to outsource our food production to unregulated factory farm conditions, which are completely unsustainable in the long term? What does that mean for our food security as well as for the well-being of future generations, which obviously includes our global responsibilities? I don't know if you are able to shed any light on the UK Government's position on these matters, but they're not the sorts of things that are being discussed in the sloganising that we've heard from the UK Government to date. So, anything you can say on this would be useful.
