§ Mr. BuchanIt is impracticable to give a figure in the absence of statistics of total fish consumption in particular parts of the United Kingdom, or of internal movements of British and imported supplies either before or after any processing involved. However, fish landed by British vessels at Scottish and at English ports during 1973 comprised 42 per cent. and 41 per cent. respectively, of total United Kingdom supplies of fresh and frozen fish, including imports.
