§ 33. Mr. Wallasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food to what extent the herring stock off the East Anglian coast is protected by a 12-mile exclusive limit.
§ Mr. BishopHerring off the coast of East Anglia are part of the main North Sea stock which is distributed differently throughout the North Sea at different times of the year. Fishery limits do not therefore provide a sufficient means of protection for the stock and joint action by all the countries involved is essential.
