Sheep Farming: No-deal EU Exit

Proceeding contribution from Gareth Snell (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 3 September 2019. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Sheep Farming: No-deal EU Exit.

The Minister mentions choosing to apply MFN tariffs. I profess not to be an expert on the sheep industry, but in the ceramics industry we have been told that there is no choice over MFN and it is the tariff that has to be applied to abide by World Trade Organisation rules. Is the Minister now saying from the Dispatch Box that the Government can apply discretion on that? If so, will he outline what that plan is?
