HC Deb 26 January 1976 vol 904 c45W
Mr. Sproat

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what specific instructions have been given to British embassies and consulates to ensure that the justice of the case for British trawlers fishing off Iceland is given the maximum publicity in foreign media.

Mr. Hattersley

British missions abroad and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office News Department constantly seek to ensure that Her Majesty's Government's actions and policies are accurately and fully presented in the foreign media. Missions are supplied with a comprehensive flow of information material on the fisheries dispute with Iceland, a priority topic, and I am satisfied that the justice of our case is generally understood.
