§ Mr. James Johnsonasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what are the latest list of grants from FEOGA to the United Kingdom for building stern trawlers; where these are to be based; and how this compares with the amount and type of aid given to the Dutch fishing fleet.
§ Mr. BishopUnder the 1973 FEOGA individual projects aid programme approximately £462,000 was allocated for 12 United Kingdom fishing vessels, two of which are specialist stern trawlers. Both are intended to operate from Hull. In the same programme approximately £1.02 million was approved for six Dutch fishing vessels, all stern trawlers.
