HC Deb 24 May 1982 vol 24 c243W
Mr. Grimond

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will reduce the 1982 freezer trawlers' sectoral quota and correspondingly increase the allocation to the rest of the United Kingdom pelagic fleet.

Mr. Younger

The freezer trawlers' sectoral quotas of mackerel and herring for 1982 have been set with the aim of maintaining a fair balance between this and other sectors of the fleet. The quota shares to be allocated to the various sectors of the industry in future will be the subject of a thorough review before the 1983 season.
