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

To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Gardiner of Kimble on 11 April (HL6658), whether the White Paper will include (1) proposals to provide financial support to the British fishing industry following 29 March 2019, and (2) measures to prevent overfishing of British waters by foreign factory ships.

We will be publishing a White Paper in due course, setting out our future vision for sustainable fisheries management. The White Paper will be followed by a Fisheries Bill which will ensure that the UK has the legal powers necessary to manage our fisheries in the future.
