The Bishop of St Albans received the following written answer on 25th January 2023:
The Lord Bishop of St Albans asked His Majesty’s Government what plans they have to mitigate any damage caused to the UK farming sector by the free trade agreements with Australia and New Zealand.
Lord Johnston of Lainston (Con): Farming is a crucial part of the UK economy, and this Government wants to ensure rural economies can thrive. Our free trade agreements with Australia and New Zealand balance opportunities for UK exporters, importers and consumers with protections for the agricultural industry.
British agri-food exporters will benefit from both deals removing tariffs for all UK goods. We offer a range of support for those looking to increase their exports, including the Export Support Service, the digital GREAT.gov.uk platform and our new Food and Drink Export Council.
