This is obviously good news after such a horrible time for the agricultural industry.

It seems obvious that most airports will now begin to cease the confiscating and food-checking on flights to-and-from the UK.

However, are any airports continuing the searching as a precautionary measure?

Finally international flying will have slightly less of a hassle about it on arrival.\

Good to see an end to such a deeply distressing time for many British people.
