HC Deb 11 July 1962 vol 662 cc133-4W
70. Mr. Mathew

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what directions he proposes to give to the White Fish Authority under Section 31 of the Sea Fish Industry Act on restrictions on distant water voyages by existing grant-aided vessels.

by those fishing vessel owners who are in real difficulties and who have prospects of overcoming those difficulties within a reasonable period.

The Authority is notifying the Associations concerned of the conditions to be satisfied before deferment. These will include an investigation by professional firms into the finances, organisation and management of the companies concerned. Copies of the letter to the Associations will be placed in the Library.
