§ 4. Mr. Hector Hughesasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will make a statement on the Second World Fishing Boat Congress, recently held in Rome; and what steps he is taking to encourage the implementation of its recommendations by British fishing fleets.
§ Mr. GodberThis Congress was a meeting of technical experts arranged by the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations to exchange views and discuss progress in the design and utilisation of fishing vessels. No actual recommendations were made by the meeting.
A short report has been circulated by the Food and Agriculture Organisation, and I will place a copy of it in the Library.
