Fresh British veg 'could be wiped out by Brexit'

A leading farmer has warned that British vegetables will disappear from supermarket shelves if post-Brexit immigration controls prevent thousands of Eastern Europeans from working in the UK. Guy Poskitt, who grows 80,000 tons of carrots and parsnips a year in Yorkshire, says it is impossible to find enough British labourers to do the work. "If you took migrant workers out of the supply chain you would within five days have no fresh British produce on the supermarket shelves," Mr Poskitt claimed.
