HC Deb 06 July 1971 vol 820 cc369-70W
Mr. Sproat

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what plans he has to inform Scottish fishermen of the advantages to their industry if Great Britain joins the European Economic Community; and what information he proposes to give them.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

The Community's fisheries policy is still evolving, and its final shape will obviously depend on the outcome of the current negotiations with the applicant countries. I am keeping the industry's representatives informed of developments and we have had several meetings with them, both for this purpose and to hear their views. These exchanges will continue.

Mr. Sproat

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what plans he has to inform the Scottish farmers of the advantages to their industry of joining the European Economic Community; and what information he proposes to give them.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

The next step will be the publication shortly of the White Paper on the United Kingdom and the European Economic Community.
