HC Deb 10 July 1968 vol 768 cc91-2W
Sir C. Osborne

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food in view of the financial difficulties and unemployment now facing the British trawling industry because of the heavy imports of dumped and subsidised fresh and frozen fish, if he will now impose a quantitative quota and a minimum price in order to preserve the industry and its employment.

Mr. Cledwyn Hughes

We have taken account of these difficulties in the new policy announced on 8th July when we also said that we had asked our principal E.F.T.A. suppliers to discuss the position with us.—[Vol. 768, c. 54–60.]
