§ 9. Mr. Hector Hughesasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, in view of the recent announcements of several North European Maritime Governments about sea territorial limits, if he will make a comprehensive statement indicating his plans for the protection of the traditional and customary rights of the British fishing industry.
§ Mr. John HareThe only Government which has stated its intention to extend fishery limits unilaterally is the Government of Iceland. The attitude of Her Majesty's Government to that statement is contained in the Declaration published on 4th June to which I cannot add at present.
