Fisheries: Government Assistance

Asked by Jim ShannonDemocratic Unionist PartyDepartment for Environment, Food and Rural AffairsTabled Answered 25 July 2024UIN 68

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if he will take steps with the European Commission to allow the Northern Ireland Executive to allocate state aid to fisheries projects in the same manner as other UK nations.

Answered by Daniel Zeichner

A key aim for this administration is to reset the UK government’s relationship with devolved governments in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland and EU and therefore look forward to discussions on a range of issues relating to the Windsor Framework, including State aid.
