HC Deb 15 January 1980 vol 976 c701W
Mr. John MacKay

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he is satisfied that the importing of Canadian herring was having no adverse effect on the price of herring landed from the Clyde fishery when it was open.

Mr. Younger

There is no evidence to indicate that imports of Canadian herring had an adverse effect on prices paid for herring during the 1979 Clyde fishery. The average price for herring from the fishery was 10 per cent. higher than the corresponding price for the 1978 fishery.
