| 16 Dec 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 680) “I do not know the answer to that. We seem to have stuck particularly in this country with our white fish for fish and chips. Tuna is also very much something that we eat in this country. Older, more traditional fish that we ate, like herring, are semi coming back, but they are not big sellers. We are quite conservative…” | 110 |
| 16 Dec 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 680) “I am an octopus eater myself, but I recognise that not many people in Britain do the same thing.” | 19 |
| 16 Dec 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 680) “It is quite interesting, isn’t it? It is about the only thing that we do not have a strategy for. As a person who likes strategies, I can see the benefit. There has not been an announcement about that, but I am more than open to thinking about it when I can draw breath after all the things that have been thrown at me a…” | 77 |
| 16 Dec 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 680) “What did he say?” | 4 |
| 16 Dec 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 680) “I have seen the maps and, when you overlay those with the marine protected areas and you then look at what is happening with energy infrastructure, the things we cannot talk about, which are military, and various other things, there is a genuine spatial squeeze. We have to make certain that we make the right decisions …” | 82 |
| 16 Dec 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 680) “This was a decision taken before I arrived, but all devolved Governments and the national Government decided that they would not increase the levy that Seafish can use. I do not know whether anyone has any other insights, but it has left Seafish with some decisions to make about what it does or does not proceed with.” | 57 |
| 16 Dec 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 527) “You will have to talk to our predecessor Secretary of State about that. These issues were inherited and on the books when I came into government. I think that it is good to have a strategy rather than not have a strategy, because I am a chess player and I tend to think that—” | 54 |
| 16 Dec 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 589) “They were all very well behaved when I was there.” | 10 |
| 16 Dec 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 680) “A huge bloom, yes.” | 4 |
| 16 Dec 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 680) “That is certainly not my experience since I took up this post.” | 12 |
| 16 Dec 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 527) “Let me first deal with the strategies that you have listed off there. It is important that we get the profitability report—the Batters report—out there first.” | 26 |
| 16 Dec 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 680) “From my sudden introduction to this very particular world, I have been quite impressed by the nature of the consultation and co-operation that happens. I arrived at the Department just as the opening was being made on all the international negotiations for fishing opportunities for next year, and I was struck by how in…” | 139 |
| 16 Dec 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 527) “Yes, I know. I know that is a sore point because I have been reading your hearings.” | 17 |
| 16 Dec 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 527) “It is going to be influential, yes.” | 7 |
| 16 Dec 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 527) “We are still considering a method of production labelling. The slight issue that we have at the moment is the SPS talks with the EU. We cannot suddenly diverge and do things completely differently, if we then have to dynamically align with EU labelling methods. In between me personally and us wanting to have as much in…” | 142 |
| 16 Dec 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 527) “That is true. The collectivisation of the kulaks caused problems.” | 10 |
| 16 Dec 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 527) “I have read the Batters report. It is a very substantial piece of work and it certainly is not trash. We will, when it is produced, have an initial response and deal with some of the larger areas and recommendations. I hope that, in the months that lie ahead, we will be able to do more work. This is a substantial piece…” | 73 |
| 16 Dec 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 527) “My view is that, for resilience, we should ensure that we have a healthy farming and food production industry that can adapt very quickly if we should have an issue. Part of food security and food resilience is our connections with the countries that we trade with. For example, during the winter months, we can get frui…” | 172 |
| 16 Dec 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 527) “Are you asking whether the Government should have a food production target?” | 12 |
| 16 Dec 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 527) “This week, hopefully.” | 3 |
