BREXIT campaigners Fishing for Leave risk being struck off after failing to file any accounts.

The hard-Brexit enthusiasts were due to submit their first set of accounts for 2016/17 three months ago.

On Tuesday Companies House told the directors that “unless cause is shown to the contrary ... Fishing For Leave Ltd will be struck off the register and the company will be dissolved”.

SNP MP Peter Grant said the organisation had questions to answer.

Since May 2016, Fishing For Leave have commented on hundreds of stories related to Brexit, putting pressure on the Government to walk away from Europe as quickly and as cleanly as possible.

The group, which claims to have “been at the forefront of hammering home the golden opportunity” that Brexit presents for the industry, has close links to Ukip, and Leave.EU the campaign group funded by Arron Banks, pictured.

Grant, the SNP’s Europe spokesperson, said: “This looks like yet another Leave-supporting organisation with big unanswered questions about where it gets its money from.

“They claim to be the ‘official’ voice of the fishing industry but do not publish figures to say how many paid-up members they have, and nearly two years after they were founded it appears as if they have failed to produce the audited accounts required by law.

“Regardless of whether or not a compulsory winding-up order is enforced, the company and its funders are surely under a moral obligation to disclose where the money came from and where it went.”

Fishing for Leave has two named directors, John Ashworth and Aaron Brown.

A spokesman for the campaign said: "The delay in submission by [Fishing For Leave] is little else than administrative delay by a small, exhaustively worked group of active fishermen; delay caused by mail being sent to a previous home address, skippers extended periods at sea and two stalwarts of the campaigns tireless exertions resulting in lengthy hospital stay.
 

"Accounts have been compiled and will be submitted, the world will be free to see how a small organization, who's extensive membership have now twice conducted prominent national demonstrations to raise the plight, struggle and abject complicity of all pro-EU Lib/Lab/Con/SNP parties in having sacrificed coastal communities to the EU.

"Before Mr Grant opens his mouth and trumpets suggestive and baseless comments for party and ideological point scoring perhaps he would consider being more contrite that a bunch of fishermen working exhaustively part time and for free have done more to fight for Scotland and Britain's fishing rights and communities than the whole of the europhile political establishment he is part of."
