Animal Health Measures

Question
What discussions he has had with the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs on the cross-border applications of emergency animal health measures.
Answer

The Secretary of State and I have regular discussions with the Secretary of State for the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs on a range of issues, including on animal health measures.
