HC Deb 29 January 1975 vol 885 c194W
Mr. Donald Stewart

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many fisheries cruisers are in the fishery protection fleet in Scotland; and how many have been operative in each of the last six months.

Mr. William Ross

Because of crewing problems only four of the five Scottish fishery protection vessels were operative in August and three in the other months with the exception of December, when, as a result of a mechanical fault, now corrected, in one vessel, two were in operation.
