The Government should find, allocate and disclose budgets and plans for increasing staffing, expertise, and funding to support its work on the SPS agreement and ensure timely delivery alongside other policy commitments. HM Treasury must increase the FSA’s flat budget settlement to reflect the additional operational demands being placed on the agency. The UK Government should also have discussions with the Scottish Government to ensure additional funds are allocated to Food Standards Scotland so it can meet the extra resource requirements associated with SPS implementation. (Recommendation, Paragraph 96)
