Common Fisheries Policy

HC Deb 26 February 1976 vol 906 cc293-4W

26. Mr. Henderson

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will make a statement on the progress of renegotiation of the common fisheries policy.

Mr. Bishop

My right hon. Friend called for a reappraisal of the common fisheries policy last April. The Commission has now produced two documents setting out the way in which they believe the policy should be adapted to meet changing circumstances. These papers will provide the basis for further discussion.
