A Bill to make provision for the Government to designate certain fishing grounds and territorial waters as sovereign territory of the United Kingdom outside the control of the Common Fisheries Policy.
House of Commons
15 May 2014
The bill would allow the government to designate certain fishing grounds and parts of the UK’s territorial waters as sovereign UK territory outside the Common Fisheries Policy. In those areas, the UK would govern fishing rules and access directly rather than under CFP arrangements. It is intended to repatriate control of these waters to the UK government and regulators.
The bill is currently at the second reading in the House of Commons, where its general principles are debated.
