EU countries are 'clearly pushing very hard' for greater access to UK waters.

Farming and fisheries minister Daniel Zeichner said fishing rights will be up for discussion.

Comes after EU demanded Britain cave to its demands on fishing in return for a new deal on defence cooperation.

The “dangerous” ultimatum sparked outrage amongst MPs and the fishing industry.

Scottish Fishermen's Federation said Britain 's fishing communities 'should not be a bargaining chip' Government says it is committed to building a new relationship with the EU to improve the British people’s security, safety and prosperity.

Government spokesman said: “We will protect the interests of our fishing communities and fulfil our international commitments to protect the marine environment”.
