HC Deb 21 July 1971 vol 821 c295W
Mr. Laurance Reed

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what are the operational costs of the Scottish Fishery Protection Service.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

The cost of maintaining and operating my Department's fishery cruisers, including expenditure on salaries and wages, is expected to be about £500,000 in the current financial year.

Mr. Laurance Reed

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what he estimates to be the capital value of the Scottish Fishery Protection Service.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

On the basis of depreciated book value, I estimate the capital value of the present vessels at about £300,000 ; but this does not reflect their current value for the purpose of fishery protection or their replacement cost.
