The Secretary of State last met with the Scottish Government and other devolved administrations on 26 February to discuss the Government’s consultation document ‘Health and Harmony: the future for food, farming and the environment in a green Brexit’. The Government is committed to working closely with the devolved administrations to deliver an approach that works for the whole of the UK, and reflects the needs and individual circumstances of Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and England.
