A British fishing vessel seized in France remains in the port of Le Havre, a spokesman for the environment ministry told Reuters, confirming that UK environment minister George Eustice had misspoken earlier on Tuesday when he said it had been released.

The vessel's owner said that it would remain at the port at least until a hearing tomorrow, disputing what Eustice had said on Sky News.
