HC Deb 02 May 1977 vol 931 cc84-5W
Mr. Donald Stewart

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what are the current stocks of frozen fish and shellfish, respectively; and how this compares with the same date in 1975.

Mr. Bishop

Total stocks of frozen white fish in the United Kingdom at 28th February 1977, the most recent date for which figures are available, are estimated by the White Fish Authority at 39,944 tonnes. The equivalent figure at the end of February 1975 was 43,982 tonnes. Figures for stocks of shell-fish and frozen fish, other than white fish, are not available.
