In April this year, I discussed a range of issues relating to UK fisheries with Ministers from Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland; including taking back the control of UK waters when we leave the EU. Plans to withdraw from the London Fisheries Convention were set out in the Government’s manifesto and so were well known to Ministers of all devolved administrations. The matter was also discussed between Defra and Welsh Government officials.
