Should the government ban food imports that do not meet the UK's domestic farming and animal welfare standards?

This issue centers on post-Brexit trade deals, specifically with countries like the US and Australia that use farming methods illegal in the UK, such as washing chicken carcasses in chlorine or using growth hormones in beef. Proponents argue that maintaining high standards protects British farmers from unfair competition and upholds animal welfare. Opponents argue that banning these imports limits consumer choice, keeps food prices artificially high during a cost-of-living crisis, and hampers the UK's ability to strike lucrative global trade deals.
