.@Ianblackford_MP: "An exporter of shellfish is experiencing his worst nightmare. After loading a lorry of fresh local seafood - as he’s done for 35 years - his driver faced bureaucracy & delays.

Brexit red tape now means £40,000 of his fresh high quality produce is lost". #PMQs
.@Ianblackford_MP: "Mr Speaker that £40,000 produce is income for over 100 local families.

Can the Prime Minister tell my constituent, where is the “sea of opportunity” that he and his Scottish Tories promised?" #PMQs
.@Ianblackford_MP: "
🐟 A third of the Scottish fishing fleet is “tied up in harbour”.
🚢 Some boats are landing in Denmark rather than Scotland to avoid “Brexit bureaucracy”.
🦐 Scottish seafood exporters are losing upwards of one million pounds in sales a day." #PMQs
.@Ianblackford_MP: "Seafood Scotland say all the extra red tape is “an almost impossible task” – it even forced DFDs to pause load deliveries to the continent." #PMQs
.@Ianblackford_MP:" Mr Speaker, the EU have put in place a £5b fund to support businesses with the cost of Brexit.

Last night it was revealed Ireland is receiving £1b of it. Can the PM tell Scottish businesses when they will be getting the same level of support?" #PMQs

First Minister @NicolaSturgeon at #FMQs: "The Test & Protect system is not just coping, it is doing extremely well. That's not just a tribute to Government, that's a tribute to those across the country who are working really hard to ensure that is the case."
NS: "It has coped throughout the pandemic - yes, at times of higher transmission the pressure on it is greater, but it's a well-functioning system that is coping." #FMQs
NS: "It uses, for contact tracing, a mixture of telephone calls and SMS. The priority is to get to contacts as quickly as possible." #FMQs
