French maritime minister Annick Girardin said the ships were cautioned during checks off Le Havre .

She said the first did not comply right away and the second was not allowed to fish in French waters so was detained.

Environment Secretary George Eustice said he was "urgently" investigating the situation.

France had warned it would block British boats from some ports next week if a post-Brexit dispute over fishing licences was not resolved by 2 November .

French politician and member of President Macron 's En Marche party , Bruno Bonnell , said French fishermen were "losing 25% of their business because of regulation" He disagreed with the licensing figures quoted by Mr Eustice, saying 200 licences had been granted.

Mr Bonnell argued French authorities "have ways to retaliate if you push too hard".
