§ 58. Mr. James Johnsonasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what official visits have been paid to fishing ports in 1975 to the latest convenient date.
§ Mr. BishopMy right hon. Friend the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food and I have, between us, this year been to Lowestoft, Fleetwood, North Shields and about a dozen smaller ports on the Yorkshire, North-East and South Coasts. During the course of these visits we met representatives of the inshore and deep sea fishing sectors and producer organisations and toured various fish markets. Further visits are planned as time and circumstances permit. In addition my right hon. Friend visited Hull last December.
