Brexit: What next for UK fisheries? (338 KB, PDF)
This Briefing Paper has been superseded. For an up to date analysis of Brexit and fisheries please see CBP 8396 Fisheries: Brexit Negotiations, published 6 September 2018

The implications of Brexit for fisheries are highly uncertain. The implications will depend on future negotiations with the EU and future UK Government policy. The Government announced its intention to introduce a Fisheries Bill in the 2017 Queen’s Speech, which will: “Enable the UK to control access to its waters and set UK fishing quotas once it has left the EU.”
