Proceeding contribution from Martin Salter (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 23 June 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Marine and Coastal Access Bill [Lords].
Marine and Coastal Access Bill [Lords]
It is clear that the Chamber is awash with conservationists, but our annual debate on fisheries policy is always full of Members of Parliament kowtowing to commercial fishing interests. Has the hon. Gentleman had an opportunity to read Fishing News, and to note the whining and wailing—excuse the pun—from the commercial sector about the prospect of the introduction of marine conservation zones? There are serious battles ahead. Does the hon. Gentleman accept that we shall have to have the courage to face down the commercial sector?
