For the last six months I have been working closely with the excellent Fishing Minister Victoria Prentis MP to support the shellfish sector. This week, the Food Standards Agency recommended a number of changes that will help re-grade our waters and challenge anomalous results. But those recommendations must be brought in ahead of the suggested September 2021 implementation date.
This a very positive step and the Prime Minister's support will help to see the UK shellfish industry grow both now and long into the future.
