HC Deb 21 March 1972 vol 833 c314W
58. Mr. David Steel

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what is the latest state of his negotiations with the Government of Denmark over fishing for salmon in the high seas off Greenland.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

Negotiations are conducted through the International Commission for the North West Atlantic Fisheries. I welcome the agreement which I understand has now been reached between Denmark and the United States on the limitation of fishing for salmon off Greenland. At the Commission's meeting in May we hope to have this agreement embodied in a formal recommendation acceptable to all member states.
