MSPs Visit Fisheries Onshore Sector

FORGOTTEN AND STRUGGLING SECTOR HIGHLIGHTED

Shadow Fisheries Minister and North East SNP MSP Richard Lochhead and Banff and Buchan SNP MSP Stewart Stevenson will be visiting Fraserburgh Engineering tomorrow morning to call for an action plan to help the fishing industry's onshore sector which has been ignored by the Scottish Government despite suffering due to the recent fisheries decommissioning scheme and challenges facing the industry. For every job at sea in the fishing industry there are at least six onshore.

The SNP will also reveal that only a fraction of the support for the onshore sector promised by Fisheries Minister Ross Finnie and First Minister Jack McConnell as far back as March 2003 has been paid out.

The media are invited to attend a press briefing at 10.00am on Friday 28 May (tomorrow) at Fraserburgh Engineering. Unit 19, Reclaimed Ground, Fraserburgh.
