Labour — Wallasey

Speaking in the House of Commons on 23 October 2025

Debate

Fishing and Coastal Growth Fund

Contribution

It is rather odd that in this country we have to export more of what we catch because we eat what is caught elsewhere. Expanding the UK population’s view of what they can eat from the catch might make it easier to revive our fishing industry. I will be seeing a group of Cornish Members next week to talk about some of their detailed suggestions about the fund, and I am interested in all creative ideas.
