Democratic Unionist Party — Upper Bann

Speaking in the House of Commons on 5 November 2024

Debate

Future of Fishing

Contribution

My hon. Friend will know well, as his constituency has a great fishing background, that 30% of Northern Ireland prawns have not been caught this year, as a direct result of labour shortages. The market is there, the produce is there, but labour shortages are holding the industry back. Does he agree that we need action on visas? We cannot keep talking about it; we need action.
