Deidre Brock – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Scotland Office

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Deidre Brock on 2016-07-20.

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, whether the Government plans to devolve the areas of law and policy on fishing formerly dealt with by the EU to Scotland’s Government and Parliament after the UK leaves the EU.

David Mundell

While the United Kingdom remains a member of the European Union, the current arrangements for fisheries remain in place.

Preparations for our negotiations to leave the EU will include looking at future approaches to fisheries management and the UK Government will fully involve the Scottish Government in this process.
