HC Deb 07 December 1966 vol 737 c304W
69. Mr. Wall

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will make a further statement on the White Fish Authority's consultations with the industry about a statutory minimum price scheme for white fish and the Government's future policy concerning these proposals.

74. Mr. James Johnson

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what study he has made of the judgments of the Restrictive Practices Court upon the Distant Water Vessels Development Scheme; and, in the light of this, if he will make a statement about the Government's scheme for statutory minimum prices for sale by auction of white fish.

Mr. Hoy

I have noted the judgment of the Court. The implications for a statutory scheme are at this stage a matter for the White Fish Authority who are continuing their consultations with the interests concerned.
