HC Deb 27 May 1976 vol 912 cc315-6W
20. Mr. Powell

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he will publish the data on which the location and contours of the Government's proposed 12 to 50-mile exclusive fishing zone are based.

Mr. Strang

The Government will be ready whenever appropriate to provide supporting information to our Community partners for the position we have adopted on future arrangements under the common fisheries policy. I do not think it would be in the interests of our fishing industry to publish such information at present.

23. Mr. Wall

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will report on developments over discussions on the common fisheries policy.

Mr. Strang

I have nothing to add to the statement made by my right hon. Friend the Minister of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs on 6th May.—[Vol. 910, c. 1480–91.]
