David Lammy refers himself to watchdog after fishing with JD Vance

David Lammy referred himself to the Environment Agency after fishing without a required rod licence, risking a fine of up to £2,500 during a diplomatic visit with US Vice-President JD Vance.

  • Earlier this week, Foreign Secretary David Lammy referred himself to the Environment Agency after fishing without a rod licence while hosting US Vice-President JD Vance at Chevening House.
  • Fishing regulations require that Anglers in England and Wales must have a rod licence, which David Lammy lacked when he hosted JD Vance, risking a fine up to £2,500.
  • The Foreign Office spokesperson said he wrote to the Environment Agency over an administrative oversight at Chevening House, purchased licences, and thanked them for protecting Britain’s fisheries.
  • Consequently, David Lammy faces a fine up to £2,500 for illegal fishing and referred himself to the Environment Agency after the incident at Chevening House.
  • Should investigations extend to JD Vance, it is not known whether he held a rod licence, risking a fine up to £2,500 and equipment seizure.
