Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what the change has been in UK fishing quota share since the Trade and Cooperation Agreement came into force.
Answered by
Stephen Morgan
Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs)
UK fishing quota is negotiated across 3 key forums (UK-EU bilateral, UK-EU-Norway trilateral, Coastal States) and a handful of smaller forums.
Since the TCA came into force, the total UK fishing quota was negotiated as follows.
| 2021 | 2022 | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 | 2026 |
Tonnes | 644,000 | 620,000 | 691,000 | 774,000 | 769,000 | 636,000 |
Estimated value | £0.88bn | £0.84bn | £0.82bn | £1.06bn | £1.04bn | £1.06bn |
Changes in the quota figures above also reflect impacts from changes in scientific advice for stocks and the consequences of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
