Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether he plans to require crews of foreign fishing boats landing their catches in English ports to show negative covid-19 tests.

Fishers, regardless of nationality, are currently exempt from pre-departure testing ahead of landing into an English port. We have no plans to remove that exemption. The Government is continuously reviewing our testing regime and will make changes based on recommendations from the Department of Health and Social Care.
