§ Mr. James Johnsonasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will publish details of the estimated amounts of the annual catches of fish by vessels from the countries of the Communist Eastern bloc in waters within the 200-mile limits of British territories in the South-West Atlantic, such as the Falkland Islands and South Georgia.
§ Mr. RowlandsI have been asked to reply.
There is at present no exclusive or other fishery zone around the Falkland Islands and Dependencies outside of the limit of the three-mile territorial waters. Consequently no official record exists of catches by other countries in such areas.
