The FDF's chief operating officer Tim Rycroft said:"In the event of no-deal disruption, if the government wants the food supply chain to work together to tackle likely shortages - to decide where to prioritise shipments - they will have to provide cast-iron written reassurances that competition law will not be strictly applied to those discussions."
The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy has not responded to a request for comment. The industry claims that the government, in internal discussions, has played down the impact a no deal Brexit would have on the overall food supply.
Brexiteers be like 'Bring back ration books'
It's about time BBC News start telling the truth and stop being so biased!
The decision was made 3 years ago and we were supposed to leave 4 months ago, yet they're only doing this now? Top contingency planning.
Expect the major supermarkets to be working on their rationing preparations and a speight of panic buying stories in the media from hereonin. Looks like the 'war cabinet' are set on dragging us back a few generations
We all ready have a food crisis in the UK under stewardship of the EU. Nip down to your local supermarket and just see the tonnes of food produce binned everyday ffs.
