To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the departure of the UK from the EU, what assessment they have made of the impact on exports to the EU of (1) fish from St Helena, (2) crayfish from Tristan da Cunha, and (3) squid and meat from the Falkland Islands.

The UK Government is fully committed to supporting the Overseas Territories. The impact of the UK's departure from the EU is different for each territory, including the introduction of tariff on exports from the Overseas Territories. Fish exports from St. Helena are not significantly impacted. Tristan da Cunha does not export crayfish to the EU, and exports of rock lobster are currently not subject to tariffs. Exports from the Falkland Islands to the EU are now subject to tariffs. We will continue to work with the Overseas Territories to take the necessary steps in mitigating the impact of the UK's departure from the EU.
