Brexit Secretary rejects SNP: We take back control of our fishing waters, SNP gives it to EU

UK's Brexit Secretary Stephen Barclay has told MPs in the House of Commons that the United Kingdom will take back control of fisheries, once it has left the European Union.

Conservative MP Bob Seely expressed his concerns about super trawlers, from outside the United Kingdom, "hoovering up 250 tonnes of fish a day off Shanklin and Eastbourne." 

He asked Mister Barclay if, once the UK has left the European Union, if it will be able to stop super trawlers coming into British seas.

Stephen Barclay told him that "one of the key features of taking back control of our waters is this Parliament making those decisions for itself. One of the mysteries about Opposition Members is that those representing Scotland do not seem to have the self-confidence to take back those decision-making powers, but rather want to give them back to Europe."
