BBC REALLY DISGUSTING FOOD SERIES AND FISH

Early day motion 744, tabled 27 January 2010 by Angus MacNeil (Scottish National Party). Signed by 8 members.

That this House condemns the BBC for screening a programme titled Britain's Really Disgusting Food: Fish which presented a highly misleading and biased view of the fishing industry; believes it is totally irresponsible of the BBC to broadcast a programme telling people not to eat haddock, when it is healthy, nutritious food from well-managed stocks; recognises the reality is that fishermen, backed by the Scottish Government, have been leading European efforts to conserve North Sea and west coast fish stocks; and points out that the Scottish fleet has been at the forefront of pioneering conservation measures, from which there are positive results.

Signatures by party: Scottish National Party 7, Labour 1.
