Common Fisheries Policy (Withdrawal) Bill

[As Introduced]
A
BILL
to

This bill would end the UK's involvement in the Common Fisheries Policy, which is an EU system that sets fishing rules and quotas across European waters. After leaving, the UK would make its own fishing policies and control who can fish in British waters, but would need to negotiate new agreements with other countries.

Presented by Mr Peter Bone.
