Before the event, Ed said: "It will be an excellent opportunity to explain the challenges raised by Brexit, but also to explain where Government policy can help the sector grow."

The NPA has recently published a document outlining the opportunities and threats for the pig industry from Brexit, which members are advised to use when discussing the issue with MPs.
