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

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what recent representations his Department has made to the Scottish Government on support for the Scottish seafood processing sector.

The Scottish Government is responsible for the Scottish seafood processing sector. However, as noted in our recent Fisheries White Paper, we think there are exciting opportunities for the whole seafood sector to supply consumers’ growing demand for sustainable, resource efficient and nutritious seafood.
