HC Deb 13 June 1980 vol 986 c340W
Mr. Austin Mitchell

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he envisages equalisation of national aids to fishing or the prohibition of national aids as part of a common fisheries agreement.

Mr. Buchanan-Smith

I expect that the provision of national aids will be discussed in the context of the negotiations on the common fisheries policy. It would be premature to speculate on the outcome.
