§ Mr. James Johnsonasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food how much will be paid to deep-sea vessel owners under the new white fish subsidy arrangements.
§ Mr. Cledwyn HughesProvided the scheme which my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Scotland and I have laid before Parliament is approved, the sum to be shared by deep-sea vessel owners in Great Britain for the first subsidy period (the six months August, 1968 to January, 1969) will be £1,188,323.
This is just over 15 per cent. of £7,732,506 which is the total added value attributable to all eligible vessels in the reference period. The payment due to the owner of each individual vessel will therefore be just over 15 per cent. of the added value attributable to that vessel.
