83. Mr. Hector Hughes

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will state his future plans and what steps he proposes to take in view of the recommendations made recently by the international Council for the Exploration of the Sea upon which Great Britain is represented.

Mr. Nugent

The Council has appointed a committee of scientists to prepare detailed plans for submission to the Governments concerned. My right hon. Friend, together with my right, hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Scotland, will consider these proposals urgently as soon as they are received.
