Boris Johnson faces a fresh call today to safeguard British farms in post-Brexit trade deals after a poll found that Leave voters were keener than Remainers to protect quality, home-grown food.
Nearly three quarters of people who voted to leave the EU say all food entering the country should be produced to British environmental standards.
Brexit backers are also more likely than Remainers to insist we should outlaw imported food produced using pesticides banned in this country.
The Deltapoll findings come amid growing unease over the impact on the UK’s world-renowned farming sector from post-Brexit trade deals, including ones with Australia and New Zealand which critics fear could lead to cheaper, lower-quality produce.
