Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what assessment she has made of trends in the level of the cost of fish on small businesses.
No specific assessment regarding the impact of the cost of fish on small businesses has been carried out. However, we regularly engage with small businesses across the retail and hospitality sectors to understand the challenges they face. Defra also continues to monitor the price of fish and engage with businesses and stakeholders such as the National Federation of Fish Friers.
