HC Deb 07 August 1972 vol 842 c301W
Mr. James Johnson

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will make a statement on his meeting with the leaders of the deep sea fishing industry on 2nd August regarding the Icelandic dispute and on the protection the fleet is to be given after 1st September between the 12-mile and 50-mile limits.

Mr. Prior

This was one of a continuing series of confidential discussions with the industry, and it would not be in the public interest for me to make a statement on the matters which were discussed.
