HC Deb 30 June 1980 vol 987 c455W
Mr. James Johnson

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what steps he is taking to expedite the granting of a moratorium in the repayments of Ship Building Industry Board loans on Hull trawlers.

Mr. Buchanan-Smith

The need to provide further assistance to the fishing industry can only be considered in the light of the review of the industry's financial position which the Government are undertaking with the industry's co-operation. Fisheries Ministers will be meeting representatives of the fishing industry on 3 July to discuss the financial position.
