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

To ask His Majesty's Government when they plan to publish a report on the implementation of the policies set out in the Joint Fisheries Statement, published on 22 November 2022.

The fisheries policy authorities are required to publish a report every three years setting out the extent to which the policies in the Joint Fisheries Statement (JFS) have been implemented, and the contribution these policies have made towards achieving the Fisheries Act 2020 objectives. The first report must cover the policies implemented in the three-year period following the publication of the JFS on 22 November 2022. We therefore expect to publish the first report in 2026.
