Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what assessment he has made of the financial impact on the UK fishing industry by the use of EU Fly-Shooting vessels in UK waters since the end of the transition arrangements following the UK's departure from the EU.
The Government has not made an assessment of the financial impact on the UK fishing industry of EU fly-seining vessels operating in UK waters but we are currently examining our wider policy on fly-seining vessels to ensure our approach is evidence-based, and in line with the UK/EU Trade and Cooperation Agreement.
