Chamber and committees

Beatrice Wishart has some questions about landings and vessel tracking.

Emma Harper has a very short supplementary question.

Cathy, do you want to comment?

Mercedes Villalba has some questions on this topic.

Elspeth, could you give the perspective of the Scottish Fishermen’s Federation?

On the basis of that comment, I am not sure that the question is one for either Charles Millar or Calum Duncan.

Jenni Minto has a question on post-EU-exit fisheries governance to close the session.

I have a final question on inshore fisheries. There are moves to look at bringing back a 3-mile limit for mobile fishing gear, which will almost certainly lead to an increase in static gear. It has been suggested that, in inshore waters, static gear is a source of mortality in humpback whales, which could be occurring at a rate and order of magnitude that would render the species unsustainable. What are the Government’s policies to ensure the right balance between static and mobile fishing gear and the impact on species such as humpback whales?

Jim Fairlie has a question on food and drink.

Just before I let Rachael Hamilton in with a short supplementary, I want to come back to your comment that you have contacted the UK Government 19 times without response. How many times have your civil servants met their Westminster equivalents over the past month?
