HC Deb 08 December 1978 vol 959 c134W
Mr. Wigley

asked the Minister of Agriculture Fisheries and Food what steps he proposes to take to license sea fishing in a way that protects the interests of full-time fishermen dependent on sea fishing for their livelihood.

Mr. Bishop:

Any such steps would need to take account of similar measures which might be enacted under Community auspices. Hence any immediate moves might prove premature.
