Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. There was not much Christmas cheer in that answer. Considering that in March this year the Prime Minister stated in relation to the super-trawler: 'It was banned and will stay banned,' is the government's permanent solution to bring forward legislation to bring the Prime Minister's words into effect—to ban super-trawlers—or do the Prime Minister's words no longer carry any weight with his cabinet?
