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 proportion of additional quota transferred from EU member states that can only be caught by fishing boats owned or operated by companies of EU member states.
No assessment has been made on the matter raised.
In October and November 2020, Defra consulted on how we would allocate this additional quota at both the UK and English level. We are currently analysing the responses and will publish the government response and policy in the near future.
