THE Leader of the SNP Mr Alex Salmond today responded to the long-standing Conservative claims that they will pull out of the Common Fisheries Policy if elected.
Alex Salmond said:
“Scottish fishing communities are well aware of the devastating impact of Tory policies on their communities. It was a Conservative government who handed over control of our fishing industry describing it as being 'expendable'. It was also a Conservative government who signed up to the disastrous Common Fisheries Policy."
The SNP favours returning control of fisheries to an independent Scotland.

Should fisheries be closed during breeding time to allow stocks to reach more sustainable levels?
