MP criticises Island's fishing visa rules in Westminster

A Northern Irish MP says his constituency's fishing fleet is facing a major threat because of changes to Isle of Man visa rules.

Jim Shannon, the DUP member for Strangford, raised the issue in the House of Commons this week during a debate about the UK government's support for the fishing industry.

He said he was 'deeply disturbed' after crews lost access to Manx waters because of the visa rule changes.

And he called on the Labour government to do more to protect the fishing industry.
