Fishing (Access to Territorial Waters) Bill

[As Introduced]
A
BILL
to

This bill gives the UK government more power to decide who is allowed to fish in British territorial waters (the sea around the UK coast). It's about controlling access to these fishing areas and making rules about who can catch fish there, likely following the UK's exit from the EU.

Presented by Mr Christopher Chope.
