Question
What assessment has the Welsh Government made of the possible UK-Australia free trade deal on the impact on lamb and beef producers in Wales?
Answer
Answered by Minister for Rural Affairs and North Wales, and Trefnydd
My officials have worked alongside industry stakeholders to identify the potential impacts on Welsh lamb and beef producers. This has underpinned my clear representations to the UK Government for appropriate safeguards to ensure we maintain the same high standards Welsh farmers already operate to.
