HC Deb 16 May 1972 vol 837 c49W
42. Mr. Warren

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will consult the French Scientific Institute of Fisheries with a view to establishing conservation regulations satisfactory to both Great Britain and France for the six-to-12-mile fishing areas off the coast of England in which French vessels are allowed to fish.

Mr. Anthony Stodart

In accordance with the European Fisheries Convention, countries which have traditional rights to fish within these areas are informed before regulations are issued and are consulted if they so wish.
