It seems that not only Bannerman is conspicuous by his absence from parliamentary committees. Amongst several points of vital interest to the British economy, discussed at a meeting of the Fisheries Committee (Sept 30 - 01 Oct), was that of reform of the Common Fisheries Policy.
Several member states, notably Denmark, are arguing for a decentralised free-market approach to the fishing industry, with more autonomy for member states over their own fishing grounds. The Commission is resisting such changes as it seeks to protect its "competences". The beleaguered UK fishermen would benefit hugely from such changes.
So where was UKIP's representative on the Fisheries Committee? You tell us. A look at the minutes of the meeting show that neither he, nor any member of his staff, attended on either day.
Nigel was obviously far too busy to waste his time defending British interests.
