Marine and Coastal Access Bill [HL]

My Lords, perhaps the Minister could check—I do not expect an answer during this debate—on the status of foreign registered or EU registered boats which operate out of British ports. A few years ago, if my memory serves me correctly, about eight Spanish boats were based in Milford Haven and brought fish back to the port. That appeared to be a loophole in the EU regulations. I am not sure whether that still continues.
