§ Mr. Home Robertsonasked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many fishing vessels are based in each of Scotland's fishing ports; and how much of the Government's recent cash aid is being allocated to boats in the fleets of each of those ports.
§ Mr. YoungerThe number of fishing vessels at each port is shown in table 38 of the published Scottish sea fisheries statistical tables for 1979. Aid under the fishing vessel temporary support scheme 1981 is not allocated to ports but will be paid on the basis of applications, which are now being received, from the owners of individual vessels. I cannot forecast how much aid will accrue to particular ports.
