HC Deb 21 July 1976 vol 915 c493W
24. Mr. Grimond

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what representations he has received from Shetland about fishing limits and conservation of stocks; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Hugh D. Brown

During the past year I have received a number of representations from Shetland about fishing limits and conservation of stocks. I am aware of the importance of fishing to Shetland's economy and of the productiveness of the valuable fishing grounds around Shetland. Full account of these factors is being taken in international negotiations on fishing limits and conservation of stocks.
