HC Deb 04 August 1966 vol 733 c185W
Commander Pursey

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether the British trawlers to be built in Poland will qualify for Government financial assistance; what amount will be given for each vessel; what is the total sum; and whether, in view of the present balance of payments position, he will confine financial assistance for trawler building to orders for British yards.

Mr. Hoy

This question is under consideration and I cannot say what amounts of grant would be involved. Assistance for building fishing vessels is not confined to orders for British yards.
