HC Deb 30 January 2001 vol 362 cc158-9W
18. Mr. Salmond

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland when she last met representatives of the fishing industry to discuss the representation of Scottish fishing interests in the Council of Ministers. [146197]

Mrs. Liddell

I have had no recent meetings with representatives of the Scottish fishing industry. Fisheries are devolved. Representation of Scottish fishing interests in the Council of Ministers falls to Scottish Executive Ministers as part of the UK team. Scottish Executive Ministers have attended all Fisheries Council meetings since 1 July 1999.
