I am in regular contact with representatives from the fisheries sector in Scotland on a range of issues, including the challenges they face with recruitment.

The Hon. Member will be aware that the Government is currently designing a new immigration system, and it’s important that the new system takes account of the needs of all regions and sectors of the economy, including those of our fishing industry and coastal communities.
