HL Deb 19 December 1979 vol 403 c1786WA
Baroness HORNSBY-SMITH

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What steps they are taking to prevent pollution from gutted fish, polluted processing liquid and the rejected undersized dead fish from the factory ships and large trawlers now operating in the South-West.

Lord MOWBRAY and STOURTON

This is essentially a local matter. An agreed code of conduct has been drawn up by the local bodies and representatives of the ships' operators and is now in operation. It includes provisions designed to reduce pollution.
