§ 80. Mr. Joynson-Hicksasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty whether he is aware of the losses of gear which the local fishermen continue to sustain as a result of ships traversing the fishing grounds by the Owers lightship; and if he will now have the grounds charted.
§ Mr. CallaghanYes. I have considered the hon. Member's proposal but as the Channel Pilot, Part I, informs mariners that crab and lobster pots are set in the area during the summer months, I do not think that marking the grounds on Admiralty charts would have any greater effect.
