Proceeding contribution from Angus Brendan MacNeil (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 1 December 2016. It occurred during Backbench debate on UK Fishing Industry.
UK Fishing Industry
The hon. Lady makes an excellent point about the nature of fisheries. One hundred years ago, about 24% of the Icelandic population were involved in fisheries, but it is now down to about 4.3%. I was in Reykjavik in June at a fishing firm that hoped to have even fewer people working in fisheries, such is the technological drive for improvement in the industry.
