Will the Minister confirm how many times the fisheries patrol vessel known as Lady Megan berthed at Conwy Marina has been out on patrol over the last three calendar years, up until 1 April 2023?
Answered by Minister for Rural Affairs and North Wales, and Trefnydd | Answered on 18/04/2023
Fisheries Patrol Vessel (FPV) Lady Megan has undertaken 24 patrols out of Conwy during the last three years, 26 patrols have also been undertaken by FPV Lady Megan from other North Wales marinas during this period. A shortfall in crew, and maintenance work, has impacted the number of days Lady Megan has been able to patrol. We are taking steps to address this issue.
