In Fishing News (19 May), reporting on the National Federation of Fishermen's AGM, attended by Elliot Morley,

 

'Derek Heselton launched a bitter attack on the Environment Agency over the shortening of the salmon season, calling it an organisation "run by anglers for anglers".....................Mr Morley replied that the netsmen were still in business and that this was only because he had stood out against "enormous pressure" from angling intersts to close the fishery down. He had been accused of being "disgrace" because he allowed the net fishery to continue, and of being biased against the rodmen........'
