Labour — Wallasey

Speaking in the House of Commons on 4 June 2026

Debate

UK-EU Sanitary and Phytosanitary Agreement

Contribution

Now that certain democratic processes have taken place, I am looking forward to being able to come north of the border. I can assure the hon. Member that I am well aware that 65% of all UK seafood is exported to the EU, and therefore the more friction we can take away from that border crossing, the more certainty there is and the more value those exports have. Given that as a nation, we tend to export a lot of the fish we catch rather than eat it ourselves, this is clearly a very important issue.
