Headline: UNCAPTIONED: David Lammy Reports Himself After Unlicensed Fishing
Caption:
David Lammy Reports Himself After Unlicensed Fishing. Foreign Secretary David Lammy fished without a licence while hosting US Vice President JD Vance at Chevening House. The fishing session occurred on private grounds during a two-day diplomatic visit with Vance and his family. Even though Lammy caught no fish, UK law requires anyone aged 13 or older to have a rod licence for freshwater fishing. Fishing without a licence can result in fines up to £2,500 to support conservation efforts and the angling sport. Realising the oversight, Lammy quickly obtained the correct licence and reported himself to the Environment Agency. The Foreign Office described the incident as an administrative slip during a casual outing at the Chevening lake. Vance’s family, who caught several fish, ensured all were returned safely to the lake after the session. After their stay, the Vances continued their UK visit with a family holiday in the Cotswolds. The visit highlights ongoing UK-US diplomatic ties and the importance of responsible angling.
