I appreciate that it is not Mr. Curley's brief, but I wish to ask about international trade agreements with the EU and whether we will import foodstuffs in particular from areas we do not expect to meet the same kind of standards that will be set in the new laws. I refer specifically to the importation of food from Brazil where I presume they will still be removing rainforests at the same time the powers-that-be here will be trying to get us to restore nature.
