A French minister says the country’s navy is ready to intervene to prevent further clashes between French and British fishermen who bumped boats over access to scallop fisheries off the French coast last week.

Agriculture minister Stephane Travert expressed hope that British and French fishermen will strike a deal to resolve their dispute when they meet on Wednesday for talks.

He added that the French navy is ready to intervene if necessary.
