HC Deb 23 November 1972 vol 846 c494W
Mr. Donald Stewart

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what was the total tonnage of fish caught in the waters of the Scottish Continental Shelf in 1971; and what proportion of this total was landed in Scotland by Scottish vessels.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

Because statistics of fish catches by other nations relate to sea areas which do not coincide with the part of the Continental Shelf off Scotland, it is not possible to provide information on this basis.
