it means ending the london fisheries convention, agreed in the 1960s, with several european countries towards the uk‘s withdrawal from the commons fisheries policy of the eu. in the house of lords, several people predicted several challenges in going it alone. the question is as follows — to ask her majesty‘s government how they intend to police and enforce the new regulations for uk inshore fishing waters? my lords, the uk has a robust enforcement system delivered by the marine management organisation — mmo — and inshore fisheries and conservation authorities — ifcas in england. the mmo cover the uk's exclusive economic zone from six nautical miles to 200 nautical miles or the median line whilst ifcas cover the area from 0—6 nautical miles. as we leave the eu, we will need to review and reflect on the level of fisheries enforcement required. my lords, i thank the noble lord the minister for his answer. i have to say this simple sailor is absolutely stunned by the answer which shows amazing complacency. the bottom line is we have very, very few vessels involved in this. they are not p

we are at withdrawing from the london fisheries convention and a lot of people assume this is the commonolicy but it is not. this is a 1964 deal and predates the session to the eu by nine years and it basically allows six countries to fish within 6— ten miles of our territorial waters and we're pulling out of that deal. it is being heralded as a great change but i think the impact is actually tiny. 10,000 tons of fish is fished by those ticks countries in the larger content 700,000 tons a fished in total so it is less than 1.5%. is ita in total so it is less than 1.5%. is it a signal of intent? that is what it a signal of intent? that is what it is being put down as of course michael gove talked to the bbc about the fact that his father 's michael gove talked to the bbc about the fact that his father '5 fishing business had gone under as a result of the eu interestingly his father denied that was the case afterwards. taking back control, that line, if we we re taking back control, that line, if we were going to pull out of the common fisheries policy if we did that and did not pull out o

so what is the london fisheries convention?ance, belgium, netherlands, germany and ireland can fish to within 6 nautical miles of the british coastline. boats from these countries catch 10,000 tonnes of fish in this area a year. but that's a tiny fraction of more than 700,000 tonnes a year caught by british fishermen. almost all of that fish is caught in the much wider 200 nautical miles around the uk coast. but the decision has angered the irish government, which has the only land border with britain. its fisheries minister described the move as "unwelcome and unhelpful". and scrapping the convention could also be meaningless. the eu commission said today that the london convention had been superseded by eu rules covered by the common fisheries policy, but fishermen welcomed the action. what it does is make a strong commitment to achieving sovereignty, taking sovereignty over our waters, which international law states is ours at the moment of brexit, and this is just another statement of intent that that will be what happens.

the government says it is pulling out of the london fisheries convention, a first step towards uk withdrawale lords. clearly, we need to negotiate now with our partners and friends in europe so that we have, as i say, a sustainable fishing industry, and also for the first time, we will have the ability to decide who can fish in our waters. and fish shoals can sometimes move for hundreds of miles, and indeed, our own fishermen sometimes fish up towards the north of russia, right down to southern portugal. there is no point in making just a unilateral declaration on this, there has to be really thoughtful, detailed discussions on the future. the bottom line is, we have very, very few vessels involved in this. they are not properly centrally coordinated. we have seen a number of countries involved saying, well, the hell with what you're saying, we're coming anyway. we will be made a laughing stock if we apply some rules and cannot enforce them. lord west. first, the wigs worn by the commons clerks were abolished. now, could another long—standing custom be ditched ? deep controversy has been sti
