HC Deb 07 May 1980 vol 984 cc127-8W
9. Mr. McQuarrie

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will make a statement on the crisis in the fish processing factories in Aberdeenshire, East.

Mr. Younger

I am aware that some firms have been having difficulty in marketing their products and have been obliged to lay off some staff. I hope that the problem will be a short-term one but I shall watch the situation carefully and will be glad to look at any particular problems that my hon. Friend has in mind.
