What discussions has the Minister had with food retailers and processors in relation to food availability in Wales?
The Minister is monitoring the situation closely and has weekly calls with the Defra Secretary of State, retailer CEOs and Devolved Administration Ministers to ensure that there is a co-ordinated response to any potential issues relating to food supply.
Retailers have robust contingency measures in place for ensuring that all stores are stocked with food supplies and continue to provide reassurance to the Welsh Government in respect of this. The retailers are working with their supply-chains to ensure stocks are replenished quickly. We recognise the huge effort business and people working in food retailers and their supply-chains are making and thank them for their efforts at this most difficult time.
