75. Mr. Hector Hughes

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what effect he estimates that Great Britain's entry into the Common Market would have on the fishing industry and fish consumers of Great Britain.

Mr. Hoy

It is not yet possible to make any firm assessment since the Community has not defined its common fisheries policy.
