HC Deb 03 August 1976 vol 916 cc762-3W
56. Mr. James Johnson

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will make a further statement regarding his efforts to decasualise the deep-sea fishing industry.

Mr. Harold Walker

Consultations between the Government and fishing interests concerning the future of the fishing industry are already under way. Consideration of the structure of employment in the deep sea sector will obviously play an important part in these discussions.
