§ Mr. Deakinsasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if, after the last meeting of the European Economic Community Fisheries Ministers, there remains any disagreement over catch quotas between the United Kingdom and other member States.
§ Mr. Buchanan-SmithNo proposals for detailed allocations of catch quotas of individual stocks have yet been put forward by the Commission for 1981. However, the Commission has put forward a proposal containing global allocations for groups of species which is regarded by most delegations as a basis for discussion. It remains the position of Her Majesty's Government that final decisions on quotas cannot be taken until a conclusion is reached on access.
