HC Deb 30 July 1976 vol 916 c447W
Mr. Watt

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he proposes to announce the extension of Great Britain's fishing limits to 200 miles on the same day as Norway, Canada and the United States of America.

Mr. Hattersley

No decision has yet been taken on the timing of the extension of the United Kingdom's fishing limits.

Mr. Watt

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he proposes to negotiate reciprocal fishing arrangements directly with Norway prior to the extension of the limits to 200 miles.

Mr. Hattersley

No. We have agreed that the Community will negotiate reciprocal fishing arrangements with third countries.
