Until we leave the EU, current arrangements for farming, fisheries, food and drink, rural affairs and our environment remain in place.

Defra will continue to ensure the right policies are in place for a cleaner, healthier environment for everyone.

The priorities for negotiating our exit from the EU will be a matter for the new Prime Minister and their Cabinet.
