HC Deb 07 February 1980 vol 978 c278W
21. Mr. Farr

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will give details of his plan to expand the Northern Ireland fishing fleet.

Mr. Giles Shaw

I have no plan to expand the Northern Ireland fishing fleet. My primary concern is to help to maintain a modern up-to-date fleet in Northern Ireland, with the aim of maximising employment in the fishing industry.
