Aberdeenshire North and Moray East MP Seamus Logan has been appointed Vice-Chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Fisheries.
The inaugural meeting for the new Parliament of the APPG was held today (Tuesday) in Westminster.
Commenting after the meeting, Seamus Logan MP said:
“Fishing is part of the DNA of our coastal communities. It is a multi-million pound industry, and employs many thousands of people. In addition, fishing directly supports many more thousands of jobs onshore, in processing, retail, supply, maintenance, boat building and so on.
“The fishing industry is particularly important to my constituency so I am pleased that has been recognised with this appointment. I will aim to be a strong voice for all sectors within the industry in this forum and I look forward to the APPG getting down to work.”
