§ 46. Mr. Scott-Hopkinsasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food how many nations since 1964 have been given specific rights of entry to fish in United Kingdom territorial waters between the six- and 12-mile limits; in what specific areas were these rights granted; what other special provisions were attached to these rights; and what is the present position.
§ Mr. Anthony StodartSix countries have rights to fish between the 6- and 12-mile fishery limits. The areas and species of fish which can be taken were determined on the basis of the pre-1964 fishing pattern. The full picture is complex and best seen from the map that has been placed in the Library. There are no other special provisions, except that one country's rights have a terminal date in 1984.
