I do not think that you should take anything that I say as gospel because, by definition, I am not an apostle or a disciple. I am not Matthew, Mark, Luke or John; I am just Michael—I am not even St Michael.
All levity aside, you should judge this Government by our actions. The key thing that I would say is that, if we look back over the course of the past year, we will see that, although Minister Ewing, Minister Cunningham and I might have different views on different issues, we have sought to work together collaboratively.
To take a case in point, Minister Ewing is, quite rightly, concerned about the operation of the discard ban on hake with respect to the Scottish fleet. He has been working with my colleague George Eustice and me in order to ensure that we can take a common view to the European Commission and that, in the run-up to the December fisheries council, we can get the EU position to change. Fergus Ewing is the one who raised that issue, and he was absolutely right to do so. We want to work with him. It affects the Scottish fleet more than any other, but we believe that we have a responsibility to act. I hope that Fergus will say that, whatever else, when he raises such concerns, we do everything that we can to ensure that we respect them and work together.
