John Flesher, deputy director of the Conservative Environment Network, said the Tory Government was "absolutely right to ban fishing of sandeels", adding that it would be "a tragedy" to reverse this conservation measure.
A Government spokesman said: "We remain committed to protecting our seabirds and the wider marine environment, including fulfilling our international commitments which are distinct to our immediate focus of improving cooperation with the EU on security and tackling barriers to trade."
