HADDOCK STOCKS IN THE NORTH SEA (no.2)

Early day motion 277, tabled 11 December 2003 by Andrew George (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 19 members.

That this House calls upon Her Majesty's Government to make a statement on the current state of haddock stocks in the North Sea; welcomes the move to decouple the various stocks in mixed fisheries to allow for higher quotas in healthy stocks such as haddock; supports the Scottish Seafood December reception to be held in brussels to promote Scottish haddock; believes that the momentum to devolve competence to a regional dimension should be greatly accelerated; and supports the efforts of UK and Scottish ministers to get the best outcome for the Scottish fishing industry from the European Fisheries Council.
