HC Deb 27 January 1982 vol 16 c364W
Mr. Marlow

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he will set out the deep sea catch in British waters now and in 1972 as follows (a) United Kingdom catch, (b) other EEC countries, (c) third countries (non-EEC) and (d) the total catch.

Mr. Buchanan-Smith

So far as the information on the United Kingdom catch is concerned, whilst the source information is available, tabulation in the form requested could be done only at disproportionate cost.
