HC Deb 02 February 1984 vol 53 cc318-9W
Mr. McQuarrie

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether, in view of the cash crisis in the European Community, he is confident that grant-aid will be forthcoming from the European Community to match the recently announced Government aid for restructuring the United Kingdom fishing industry.

Mr. MacGregor

I have no reason to believe that there will be any difficulties over payment of the Community contribution to the new measures for restructuring the fishing industry agreed by the Council last year.
