§ Mr. Welshasked the Secretary of State for Scotland when he will announce figures showing quotas for cod, haddock and whiting allocated in Scottish waters; and if he will compare them with previous years.
§ Mr. Hugh D. Brown:EEC quota proposals are related to sea areas as defined by the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea and not specifically to waters within the fisheries jurisdiction of any one member State or any part thereof. The Council of Ministers of the European Communities did not reach agreement on quotas for 1978, and the Commission has not yet put forward proposals for 1979.
