Western Sahara: Fisheries

Ms Katy Clark
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether the owners of UK fishing vessels who are issued with permits to fish in the waters of Western Sahara are provided with guidance on the status of that area.

Huw Irranca-Davies
I have been asked to reply.

Owners of vessels that fish in the waters of Western Sahara under the EU/Morocco Fisheries Agreement are not issued with guidance about the status of the area.
