Inshore Fishing: Northern Ireland

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, what assessment he has made of the effect of the UK leaving the EU on the inshore fishing regime.

EU exit gives the UK an opportunity to review fishing regimes across all segments of the UK fleet and to assess how we can best support sustainable fisheries.

The Government looks forward to working with the Northern Ireland Executive throughout the negotiations process to ensure that this sector’s views are taken into account.
