I want to ask about conditions in the fishing sector generally, in particular for migrant workers, in light in particular of the Ellie Adhamh, to which I am sure the Minister of State paid attention, and what emerged in terms of the primarily Egyptian crew being employed illegally outside the terms of the atypical working scheme not being paid a wage and being on a notional share scheme.

We know those people were working outside of the terms of the scheme. How widespread is that? How many fishers working in boats here should be under the atypical working scheme but are not?
