HC Deb 21 January 1987 vol 108 c603W
49. Mr. Litherland

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether licences granted for fishing in the Falklands fishing zone will specify catchable quantities, equipment to be used or any other restriction; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Eggar

No. But the number of licences available for the 1987 fishing season in the Falkland Islands interim conservation and management zone reflects the conservation requirements of the fishery and takes account of the size, type and equipment of the fishing vessel.

58. Mrs. Clwyd

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs which countries have now applied for licences to fish in the Falkland Islands protection zone.

Mr. Eggar

Applications for licences to fish in the Falkland Islands interim conservation and management zone were received by the Falkland Islands Government from companies from the United Kingdom, the Falkland Islands, France, the Federal Republic of Germany, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Chile, Japan, the Republic of Korea, Poland and Taiwan.
