Downing Street has sought to reassure the public that “all necessary mitigating steps” are being made to shore up food supplies amid concerns centring on the invasion of Ukraine.
The Prime Minister’s official spokesman said: “We are obviously aware of Ukraine in farming and production of things like wheat, it’s something that the Government has been alive to.
“Defra and other departments are working to mitigate any of the challenges we see. We do obviously have a diverse food supply in this country and I think that was seen in the height of the pandemic, but the public can be reassured that we’re taking all necessary mitigating steps.”
