Liz Truss insisted hormone-injected beef will remain banned as she defended the UK’s trade deal with Australia

She described the deal as ‘a stepping stone to the trans-Pacific partnership, which is a major deal with 11 countries in the Pacific region, population 500million’.

At Prime Minister’s Questions, SNP Westminster leader Ian Blackford said the Government’s ‘disastrous’ deal has ‘thrown Scottish farmers and crofters under their Brexit bus’. He pressed Boris Johnson to put the deal to a Commons vote, with the Prime Minister telling MPs: ‘The people of this country voted for this Government to get on and deliver free trade deals around the world and I believe they were totally right.

In the subsequent five years there will be safeguard measures aimed at ensuring Australian meat does not flood the market.Downing Street said some of the final details of the agreement are still being worked through and agreed and it will be published in full once that has happened. The Prime Minister’s press secretary said: ‘It is view that this is a deal that offers opportunities for the entire country and this is something we should unite behind.’
