HC Deb 18 December 1969 vol 793 cc416-7W
Mr. Bessell

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what proposals he has for co-ordinating international action to prevent Atlantic salmon from extinction.

Mr. Hoy

The Government are now considering the situation created by the objections of Denmark, Sweden and West Germany to the measures proposed by the Commissions for the North-East and North-West Atlantic, and will in due course be consulting other countries concerned about possible courses of action.

Mr. Ridley

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will withdraw Denmark's butter quota in the United Kingdom market, until Denmark agrees to international control of fishing for salmon by drift net at sea.

Mr. Hoy

No.
