§ Mr. James Johnsonasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what talks he is having with Norway upon future extension of fishing limits to 200 miles; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. EnnalsNorway is, like us, working for general acceptance of 200 mile fisheries limits at UNLOSC, and has begun a round of consultations with other States about the implications of a Norwegian 200 mile zone. Following my informal talks last October with Mr. Evensen, the Norwegian Minister of Fisheries, it was agreed that the two countries should keep in touch on fisheries matters. This is at present being done through diplomatic channels.
