Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if he will make it his policy to introduce catch limits for non-quota species for fly shooting.
We are examining our policies for fly shooting and working to develop more robust management of non-quota species, which these vessels are targeting alongside quota stocks. Any action taken needs to be evidence-based, and in line with the UK/EU Trade and Cooperation Agreement
