MINISTERS have ordered the stockpiling of baby formula milk to stop newborns going hungry if a no-deal Brexit sparks a shortage.
Health Secretary Matt Hancock has ordered large quantities of milk and signed off £1 million to be spent on buying 5,000 giant fridges to store it.
Michael Gove, the Environment Secretary, revealed in a Cabinet meeting that a staggering 80 per cent of baby milk is imported from Europe.
He warned the Cabinet that Britain’s supply could run out if ports were blocked following the Brexit deal.
This prompted Mr Hancock to order the extra quantities and fridges, according to the Mail on Sunday.
It comes after Mr Hancock, 40, said he was the owner of the “world’s largest collection of fax machines” in reference to the outdated methods used by the NHS.

But a source joked he is now also the owner of the “world’s largest private collection of fridges”.
The Department of Health and Social Care said British people will still have access to “specialist food products” when the UK leaves the EU.
A spokesman said: “As part of our contingency plans we are working closely with manufacturers and supply chains to ensure that in the unlikely event of a no deal, supplies of baby formula will continue uninterrupted.
“Our planning will also ensure that on the day the UK leaves the EU, we will have all the necessary resources to continue to protect UK consumers from food safety risks and give them access to specialist food products.”

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
