HC Deb 08 February 1979 vol 962 c234W
37. Mr. Beith

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he is satisfied with existing measures to conserve lobster fisheries.

Mr. Bishop

As the hon. Member is aware, my Department has asked fishing organisations for comments on a consultation document on management of the lobster fishery in England and Wales. The need for further conservation measures to conserve lobster stocks will be considered when all comments have been received.
