§ Mr. Mylesasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what steps will be taken to enable new fishing vessels built in Scotland to qualify for European agricultural guidance and guarantee fund grants.
§ Mr. YoungerThere is at present no Community scheme in operation under which application can be made for EAGGF aid towards new fishing vessels. I cannot say at this stage whether such a scheme will operate for 1980 or what its conditions might be. Should a scheme be introduced, my Department would as usual give applicants all possible help by liaising with the EEC Commission.
