HC Deb 08 February 1972 vol 830 cc302-3W
31. Mr. Wall

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what discussions he has had with the British fishing industry on the effects of any extension of the existing fishing limits by Iceland; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Prior

I have been in close touch with the industry, but the object of discussions has been to explore ways of solving the problem created by the proposed extension of limits rather than with the consequences that would result from failure to find a solution.
