§ Mr. Wolrige-Gordonasked the Secretary of State for Scotland why the fishermen's top price for herring at Ullapool virtually never obtains the home market minimum price of 97s. for bulk or 99s. for boxed herring; and what proportion of the herring landed at Ullapool is sold on the home market.
§ Mr. NobleDuring the period 1st September to 23rd November this year out of a total landing of just over 25,000 cran of herring at Ullapool some 6,600 cran were sold at or above the price of 97s. for bulk or 99s. for boxed herring. In addition, over 9,000 cran were sold for quick freezing.

§ Mr. Wolrige-Gordonasked the Secretary of State for Scotland why herring of good quality landed at Ullapool fetch a much lower price than herring of similar quality landed at Oban.
§ Mr. NobleAccording to my information, the quality of herring recently landed at Oban has been in general better than that of the catches landed at Ullapool and I have no reason to believe that the difference of prices between the two ports reflects anything other than the buyers' assessment of the quality of the catch.
