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

To ask His Majesty's Government whether they plan to follow the plan set out in the English Aquaculture Strategy, published in November 2020, in particular the target of a 75 per cent increase in seafood consumption by 2040.

The Government is committed to supporting the sustainable, industry‑led growth of the aquaculture sector, and the English Aquaculture Strategy sets out the aquaculture sector’s ambitions for 2040.

We have no plans for a legally binding food production target, but as we develop plans to support delivery of the food strategy outcomes, we are focussed on securing resilient domestic production that supports good growth and enhances domestic food security.
