§ Mr. Gwynfor Evansasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if his answer to the hon. Member for Grimsby (Mr. Mitchell) Offical Report, 19th July 1977, columns 481–2, on fish catches includes cetaceans; and what are the relevant figures for cetaceans.
§ Mr. BishopNo. It is illegal to catch whales within British fishery limits. No figures are available for any catches of small cetaceans, but they are not likely to be significant.
