Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Douglas Carswell (UK Independence Party). It was answered on Thursday, 2 March 2017 on behalf of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.
Leaving the EU: Fisheries
- Question
-
Leaving the EU is a wonderful opportunity to rethink public policy. What are the Minister’s thoughts on ensuring better terms for UK fishermen and better access to our exclusive economic zone?
- Answer
-
As the hon. Gentleman will know, I have consistently made it clear that leaving the EU means that we will take back control of our exclusive economic zone—the area out to 200 nautical miles or the median line—and that will allow us to look afresh at mutual access agreements and shares of the total allowable catch in shared waters.
