Minister of Fisheries Pete Hodgson
said today that the fishing company Sealord is selling none
of its fishing vessels, contrary to allegations made by New
Zealand First leader Winston Peters in Parliament
today.
"I have been informed directly by the company that
it has no plans to sell any of its vessels," Mr Hodgson
said. "In fact it has just expanded its fleet with the
addition of the Kiwa, which adds an extra 80
jobs."
