Agricultural Products: UK Trade with EU

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government whether they have considered the impact of the sanitary and phytosanitary agreement with the EU on additives in vitamins, including the Healthy Start Vitamins.

Answer

While negotiations with the EU on the SPS agreement are underway, we will not be providing a running commentary of discussions.
