Speech in Westminster Hall - Thu 06 Dec 2012 Fisheries
"I was not directly aware of that, but I take the hon. Gentleman’s point. I am sure that others will want to expand on it.

"The hon. Lady has direct experience of what I am discussing and is an expert in the field. I am happy to have been a member of the Committee that debated her Bill. She has made an extremely important point...." Frank Doran - View Speech
