Part of 1. 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Environment and Rural Affairs – in the Senedd at 1:30 pm on 1 February 2017.
I’m delighted with the answer that the Cabinet Secretary has provided. Does she accept that the opportunities that will be available for Welsh fishermen and women will be very significant, that the last 43 years have seen a plundering of our seas through the common fisheries policy, the devastation of fish stocks, which have taken many, many years to begin to correct, and that by taking back control of the coastal waters and further regions of the sea, we have the opportunity not only to develop a massive economic resource for Wales, but also to improve conservation in Welsh waters?
