A cross-party independent commission has been set up to suggest ways to improve the new EU Trade and Cooperation Agreement and smooth current exporting difficulties.

100 days have passed since the Brexit transition period came to an end, and we continue our focus on how UK food and farming businesses are adapting. Today we hear from Ian Wright, Chief Executive of the Food and Drink Federation.
