Proceeding contribution from Andrew George (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 19 April 2007. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Marine Environment.


Marine Environment

I am happy to endorse and support the Minister’s statements on whaling and the conservation of fisheries. Before he moves on from the exploitation of fish in the sea, I seek his reassurance on paragraph 7.65 in the marine White Paper. It deals with the number of sea fisheries committees, which undertake excellent work on inshore fishing. The proposal is to reduce them from 12. Will he confirm that he will not do that without the full support of the sea fisheries committees? They are important because they understand how the inshore sector works and is best managed.
