Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Following the announcement of the UK referendum result, I announced my intention to convene a consultative committee of stakeholders to ensure a full exchange of information as the exit negotiations proceed. Arrangements for the first meeting are currently being finalised, and I expect this to take place next week.
