Well, of course, that’s why we’re saying that we’re not going to have free access to the European market. It’s typical, I’m afraid, of the attitudes of those who were against Brexit to try and bring out all the negative possibilities from us coming out of the European Union. That’s an example of exactly what I’m saying.

We now understand, from sources in the European Parliament, that there are moves afoot to deny the UK the right to the fishing grounds that were ours prior to entering the European Union. One can quite understand their concern, given that 80 per cent of the Danish fleet catch is in former British waters. The French have 84 per cent of channel cod whilst the UK has only 9 per cent. Add to these the figures of the Spanish fishing fleet plundering our waters, of course, ably abetted by enormous amounts of European funding—€5.8 billion since the year 2000—it is small wonder that Brussels is desperate to carry on exploiting our rich fishing grounds. The UK had some 80 per cent of Europe’s fishing grounds before Ted Heath decided to give it away as part of our entry agreement. Would the socialist parties in this Assembly join me in condemning any move by the Tory Government to negotiate away our rightful fishing grounds for the second time in our history? We must demand that our fishing grounds are restored in their entirety, so that UK and Welsh fishing can start to be restored to its former glory, and Welsh fishermen can once again contribute substantially to the Welsh economy.
