§ Mr. Sillarsasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what is his estimate of the percentage of fish stocks in the EEC which are within waters covered by Scottish law.
§ Mr. Hugh D. BrownApproximately 60 per cent. of the fish resources in the waters within the fisheries jurisdiction of member States are within United Kingdom limits. In the context of EEC negotiations no useful purpose would be served by seeking to distinguish the fish resources in waters off different parts of the United Kingdom.
