HC Deb 01 February 1972 vol 830 cc85-6W
Mr. MacArthur

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many Scottish inshore fishing vesels built with grant aid were completed in 1971; and how this compares with previous years since 1960.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

57 new grant-aided vessels, of which two were built outside Scotland, were added to the Scot-

tish inshore fleet in 1971. This is the highest number completed in any year since 1960.
