Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Roger Williams (Liberal Democrat). It was answered by James Paice (Conservative) on Wednesday, 8 February 2012 on behalf of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.


Meat Exports

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what steps her Department is taking to promote Welsh meat exports.
Answer

With permission, Mr Havard, I shall answer Questions 7 and 9 together. We recently published the action plan on farming, food and drink exports. DEFRA will continue to work closely with Welsh and other stakeholders to implement that plan, especially to reduce animal health barriers to trade in beef and lamb, with regard not only to China and the USA, but to developing new markets such as in India.
