HC Deb 10 December 1975 vol 902 c193W
Sir John Gilmour

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what will be the necessary increase in the size of the fishery protection fleet for Scottish waters if the fishing limits are increased to 200 miles from the United Kingdom coasts.

Mr. William Ross

Arrangements for the future protection of the offshore interests of the United Kingdom were described by my right hon. Friend the Minister of State for Defence in a statement to this House on 11th February. This took account of the likelihood of extended fishing limits becoming recognised in international law.
