The CFP and the CAP will continue just as they are because they are EU policies and will have nothing to do with the UK.
However UK fishing and agriculture policy will continue to be run by various agencies answering to the Department of Environment. |

Why not the devolved governments? |

Well as far as fisheries policy is concerned that has to be controlled at a national level because the fishing fleet and its prey are nomadic seeking protection from bad weather and landing catches in numerous ports. Therefore fisheries need to be administered at a national level rather than a devolved level. Similarly because agriculture policy deals with more than the administration of subsidies it also needs to be administered at a national level.
However I am sure that Westminster politicians will be able to find a way to add extra layers of bureaucracy in order to give an illusion of devolving powers to national assemblies (jobs for the boys). |

But we have at least told the fish that we are leaving, right, and not to swim into any of those European waters? |

We have, yes. We have also told the fish in European waters to come into our seas. |

Whatever happens, if we actually do leave which is now in doubt. I would expect the Royal Navy to be on patrol in our fishing waters. If not then the French and Spanish fleets would continue to overfish them without batting an eyelid. |

Thwt would be a waste of military resources. If you want that function to be carried out it should be a civilian agency |

Don't be daft, Brexit is so good that we'll be innundated by cod coming to UK waters. Of course, we'll have to keep out immigrant cod so that we make sure they don't take the place of British cod in our friers! |
