HC Deb 23 May 1973 vol 857 c89W
Mr. Sproat

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, in view of his responsibility for fisheries, whether he is satisfied with the present means for informing fishing interests of oil developments in the North Sea which affect those interests; and if he will make a statement.

Mrs. Fenner

Yes. Standing arrangements ensure that my right hon. Friend has an opportunity of consulting fishing interests in England about any developments likely to affect them.
