Description

Martin Young interviews Liberal Democrat MP for Cornwall North, Paul Tyler, about the tuna wars – a dispute between the UK and Spanish governments over fishing rights. Cornish trawlers have been cleared of using over-long nets by European inspectors but penalised by the Royal Navy leading to accusations the UK Government is backing the wrong side.
