HC Deb 29 October 1975 vol 898 c528W
56. Mr. Grimond

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what progress has been made over the last two months on the renegotiation of fishing limits and quotas.

Mr. Bishop

Negotiations have begun with the Icelandic Government about the future access of British fishing vessels to the grounds off Iceland after the expiry of the Interim Agreement with Iceland. The United Kingdom has taken part in a special meeting of the International Commission for the North-West Atlantic Fisheries at which a number of conservation measures for that area were agreed. Informal discussion has taken place with representatives of the Norwegian Government on general questions relating to the Law of the Sea.
