Incidentally the deal negotiated with the EU includes the UK leaving the common fisheries policy and becoming an independent coastal state with the right to make its own deals over who can fish in British waters and how much can be caught.

This bit was probably one of the most difficult parts of the deal to negotiate and doesn’t sit well with countries like France and Spain.

It is likely that the UK will/would have to make concessions when deciding on granting fishing rights however because so much of our fishing industry depends on exports to EU countries.
