Cetaceans: Conservation (27 November 2017)

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether the provisions under EC Regulation 812/2004, requiring the monitoring of the number of dolphins, whales and porpoise that are killed as a result of unintentional capture in fishing nets, will be maintained after the UK has left the EU.

Asked by:
Kerry McCarthy (Labour)

The Government has been clear that the European Union (Withdrawal) Bill ensures that, so far as possible, the same rules and laws will apply on the day after exit as on the day before. EC Regulation 812/2004 will be brought across through the Withdrawal Bill.
