South Lakes MP Tim Farron welcomed the new Trade and Agriculture Commission set up by Government.
However, he urged the new commission that it must be 'a watchdog with teeth'.
He said: “This new body must be a watchdog with teeth that will prevent the Conservatives undermining British farmers, instead of a lapdog that provides cover for the Tories to sell us out in future trade deals.”
