Written Question
Fishing Vessels: Scotland
Monday 14th July 2025

Asked by: Melanie Onn (Labour - Great Grimsby and Cleethorpes)

Question to the Scotland Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, what proportion of (a) UK-flagged and (b) EU member state-flagged fishing vessels were subject to port inspections in in Scotland in the last 12 months.

Answered by Ian Murray - Secretary of State for Scotland

The regulation and oversight of port inspections in Scotland predominantly fall within the remit of the Scottish Government. As such, the Scotland Office does not hold the specific information requested. I recommend contacting the Scottish Government for further details on this matter.
