	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/07/2018 answer text <p>Operational advice issued regarding the proximity of fishing activity, including pair-trawling, is often judged on a case by case basis and is dependent on local fishing patterns and behaviours. In addition to this there are also specific restrictions in place which limit pair-trawling in English waters. For instance, there is a prohibition on certain types of pair-trawling within 12 nautical miles of the South West of England, and the Eastern IFCA operates a byelaw that prohibits trawling from 0-3 nautical miles throughout most of the district.</p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 09/07/2018 08:49:57 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice
