§ 26. Mr. Jegerasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he is aware of the concern among Yorkshire inshore fishermen at the continuing use of their fishing grounds by foreign trawlers using small mesh nets; and what action he now proposes to take to prevent the overfishing that is taking place.
Mr. VaneYes. We have made proposals to the other countries concerned for stricter control over the use of small mesh nets, and these are now being discussed with them.
