HC Deb 18 February 1960 vol 617 cc135-6W
30. Mr. Crosland

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, in view of the forthcoming conference on the Law of the Sea, what action, including visits to other countries, he proposes to take in order to win or increase support for the British policy on fishing-limits.

Mr. John Hare

This of course has been much in our minds. There have been numerous consultations and discussions, which are continuing, with other countries on the questions of the breadth of the territorial sea and fishery limits in preparation for the Conference. I do not think it would be in the general interest for me to go into details.
