HC Deb 24 May 1979 vol 967 cc184-5W
Mr. Geraint Howells

asked the Secretary of State for Wales if he is satisfied with the state of the fishing industry in Wales; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Nicholas Edwards

The Government are well aware of the considerable uncertainty now felt by the fishing industry in the United Kingdom. In negotiations with our EEC partners, our aim will be to secure agreements which will enable the industry in Wales as elsewhere to face the future with confidence.
