Labour: Govt need to 'come clean' over fishing licence row
Shadow Environment Secretary Luke Pollard says the government need to "come clean" as to whether they issued a detained British vessel with the correct licence.
He argues both sides are to blame for the row, saying the French shouldn't have detained the boat and the UK should have sent the correct details to the French.

The shadow armed forces minister says Labour has committed to raising defence spending by 2.5 percent of GDP "as resources allow".
