--- Quote ---Government defeated in Lords over post-Brexit food standards
Amendment means products imported under future trade deals must meet domestic standards
The government has been heavily defeated in the Lords over a cross-party move to guarantee high food standards post-Brexit.
Peers backed by a majority of 95 a change to the Agriculture Bill aimed at blocking the import of foodstuffs produced abroad at lower animal welfare standards.
Voting was 307 to 212 for an amendment requiring food products imported under future trade deals to meet or exceed domestic standards, to prevent UK farmers being undermined.
