The Bishop of St Albans asked a question on rates of domestic fish consumption and the handling of fishing quotas with the EU on 4th March 2021:
The Lord Bishop of St Albans: My Lords, there is an immediate, pressing problem for many of our fishermen, who are suffering. What are Her Majesty’s Government doing to increase fish consumption in the domestic market? Do we need a fish and chips tsar or someone to encourage people to eat fish? More importantly, in the negotiations with the EU, will the Government work towards a flexible arrangement that allows for better quota swaps?
Lord Gardiner of Kimble (Con, DEFRA): My Lords, we will be pragmatic and we will work robustly with the EU and, indeed, with Norway and the Faroe Islands.
Importantly, Defra and Seafish are working together on the Love Seafood campaign precisely to encourage the domestic consumption of excellent fish that hitherto we may not have consumed.
