The hon. Gentleman mentions eastern Europeans, and this is a sore point for Hebrides fishermen at the moment because we cannot get the numbers of them in and boats are left tied up.

We are dying to get people in from the Philippines, but blockages put in place by the London Government are choking the Scottish fishing industry.
