HC Deb 16 November 1978 vol 958 cc301-2W
41. Mr. Sillars

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what recent representations he has received about a licensing system for fishing boats.

Mr. Bishop

This matter has arisen in the course of consultations between officials and fishermen's organisations but no recent representations on the subject have been made to my right hon. Friend. It will need to be pursued further in the context of discussions about the future structure of the fishing industry.
