Proceeding contribution from Mark Spencer (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 13 October 2022. It occurred during Backbench debate on Post-Brexit Fisheries Management.
Post-Brexit Fisheries Management
I do not want to jinx us. That is the last thing I want to do going into these negotiations. I do not want to identify our red lines or what we want to achieve, because that makes our negotiating position weaker. We enter these negotiations in good faith. We recognise the fleet that the hon. Member mentioned as well as our inshore fleet. We want to do the best we can. Not only do we want to secure a sustainable quota, but we want to secure our access to the market so we can actually sell the fish we catch. That is a delicate balance, but we are very much up for the negotiation and the fight. We will be in there punching very hard for our industry.
