§ Mr. Bryant Godman Irvineasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if, in view of the letter to him of 2nd November 1975 from the Chief 833W Fishery Officer, Sussex Sea Fisheries District, he will now restrict the size limit in the South-East for fishing inside the 12 mile limit to 25 gross registered tonnage and 150 horse-power.
§ Mr. BishopNo. Reasons against such action include the fact that this would prevent many British vessels from fishing traditional grounds in the eastern English Channel.
