According to Dairy UK, the Dairy APPG will hear from a range of industry speakers later this month, including representatives from Defra and AHDB, who will outline current export data and take a look at what future export strategy could look like post-Brexit.

Commenting on the inquiry launch, Chair Scott Mann MP said: "I'm delighted to launch this inquiry on behalf of the Dairy APPG and understand the framework within which British dairy exports can thrive. These are exciting times but I want to know what practical and realistic help the Government can provide to help the industry post-Brexit."

Written contributions to the inquiry are welcome, and should be forwarded to the APPG secretariat at [email protected]. In the coming year the Dairy APPG will also look at sustainability and the dairy sector, as well as look at innovations in milk packaging.

Scott Mann MP was elected new chair of the Dairy All-Party Parliamentary Group at the Annual General Meeting on the 21 February. Four Vice-Chairs were also elected as follows: Steve Double MP (St Austell and Newquay), Angela Smith MP (Penistone and Stocksbridge), Chris Davies MP (Brecon and Radnor) and David Simpson MP (Portadown).
