HC Deb 15 June 1976 vol 913 c125W
48. Mr. McNamara

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether the decasualisation of the fishing section of the trawler industry will be a fundamental part of the immediate Government assistance to the fishing industry following the Icelandic settlement and of the future restructuring of the industry.

Mr. Bishop

The part to be played by this proposal in restructuring of the industry can only be clarified in the course of the consultations which we shall be having with the interests concerned.
