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

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, how many full-time equivalent staff of his Department are working on the withdrawal from the London Fisheries Convention; and if he will make a statement.

There is no team dedicated purely to withdrawing from the London Fisheries Convention. Staff in the European Union Exit Directorate and the Marine and Fisheries Directorate have worked on the London Fisheries Convention in the course of their regular duties. The Secretary of State made a Written Ministerial Statement on the London Fisheries Convention on Monday 3 July.
