Proceeding contribution from Andrew George (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 6 December 2012. It occurred during Adjournment debate and Backbench debate on Fisheries.
Fisheries
I do not want this to become a Cornish debate between Cornish Members, but if the hon. Gentleman wishes to present a polarisation between fishermen and environmentalists he has perhaps misunderstood the issue. Increasingly these days fishermen are working with scientists, and the way forward is to encourage them to work together towards a sustainable fishing industry. It is not that fishermen want to fish the seas out; they are interested in a sustainable fishing industry for the future.
