David Duguid today asked the Department for Exiting the EU if DEFRA and industry stakeholders would take the lead in annual negotiations for fisheries agreements with the EU after we leave the CFP and become an independent coastal state.
Replying, the Minister said Mr Duguid was relentless in his support for the fishing industry and was 'like a machine' in his work to ensure fishermen in Banff and Buchan and the rest of the UK get the best out of Brexit.
