Barry has questioned Witnesses George Eustice, Secretary of State, Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and Tamara Finkelstein, Permanent Secretary, Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs on the wider topic of fisheries post-Brexit.
Barry started by asking the Secretary of State how we can be ‘taking back control’ when the Prime Minister committed to reciprocal tariffs with the EU in the event of a no-deal Brexit. Barry explained how under these conditions, we would not be able to give any other country with which we don’t have a free-trade agreement any better or worse trading terms than the EU.
He then quizzed the witnesses on the UK’s application with the EU for 3rd country status. It was a fiery exchange that you can watch in full below.
