HC Deb 09 May 1980 vol 984 c271W
Mr. Sproat

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what estimate he has made of the value and amount of herring caught in United Kingdom waters by EEC vessels in the period following the EEC ban on the catching of herring.

Mr. Buchanan-Smith

Herring can be caught legitimately as a by-catch, but I regret that no useful estimate can be made.
