EU Exit: Article 50
"On behalf of the millions of Labour supporters who voted to leave, I welcome the Government’s commitment to not revoking article 50. Does the Secretary of State agree that many of the people who want to see it revoked really just want to reverse the decision of the 17.4 million? …..."Baroness Hoey - View Speech

Brexit Negotiations and No Deal Contingency Planning
"The Minister will know that with genuine co-operation and good will on all sides the issue of the border between the Irish Republic and Northern Ireland can be sorted. If it is sorted, which it should be, can we then think of the Canada-plus-plus-plus option?..."Baroness Hoey - View Speech

EU: Future Relationship White Paper
"In welcoming the Secretary of State to his post, may I add my voice to the idea that it is nonsense that we got this White Paper so late? Can he confirm that Angela Merkel did not have a copy before we did? Will he state categorically that after we …..."Baroness Hoey - View Speech

European Union (Withdrawal) Bill
"The hon. Member for Bracknell (Dr Lee) said that if Brexit is worth doing, it is worth doing well.

European Union (Withdrawal) Bill
"No, I will not.
The people of this country will see that Lords amendment 19 is really about trying to go back on Brexit. Their lordships can say what they want, but that amendment is actually about reversing Brexit. We want to take back control, but taking back control was …..."Baroness Hoey - View Speech

If Lords amendment 19 is agreed to, it will be a recipe for the EU to try to get no deal so that we will have to go back from this Parliament, cap in hand, and ask for changes. What it really wants is for those …..."Baroness Hoey - View Speech

European Union (Withdrawal) Bill
"The hon. Gentleman is right that all the manifestos referred to honouring Brexit by leaving the customs union and the single market. Labour put it in a slightly more nuanced way, but, particularly in leave areas, people were told that we would be leaving the single market and the customs …..."Baroness Hoey - View Speech

Written Question
Thursday 3rd May 2018
Asked by:
Baroness Hoey (Non-affiliated - Life peer)
Question
to the Department for Exiting the European Union :
To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, pursuant to the Answer of 27 April 2018 to Question 137188 on Marine Protected Areas, whether the derogation under the UK's Treaty of Accession to the EU on exclusive use of the six-nautical-miles and 12-nautical-miles fishing zone will remain in force throughout the implementation period.
Answered by Robin Walker
As stated in the answer to Question 137188, on 19 March, the UK and EU reached an agreement on the terms of the implementation period. Under the agreement, the common fisheries policy, including arrangements on the management and access of the six-nautical-miles and 12-nautical miles fishing zones, will continue to apply during the duration of the implementation period.
By December 2020 we will be negotiating fishing opportunities for 2021 as an independent coastal state completely outside the Common Fisheries Policy.

Asked by:

Question
to the Department for Exiting the European Union :
To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, whether the UK will retain the exclusive use of the six-nautical-miles and 12-nautical-miles fishing zones during the proposed 21-month implementation period before the UK leaves the EU.
Answered by Robin Walker
During the implementation period, the UK will no longer be a Member State of the European Union.
In order to ensure a smooth transition and to give governments, businesses and citizens on both sides the time they need to prepare for our new relationship, we have agreed that common rules will remain in place during the implementation period. This includes the current arrangements on the management and access of the six-nautical-miles and 12-nautical miles fishing zones.
Crucially, we have safeguarded the interests of our fishermen by ensuring that the UK’s share of catch cannot be reduced.
In December 2020, we will be negotiating fishing opportunities as a third country and fully independent coastal state, deciding who can access our waters and on what terms for the first time in over 40 years.
