HC Deb 23 May 1980 vol 985 cc405-6W
Sir Walter Clegg

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food how the £3 million aid to the United Kingdom fishing industry announced on 13 March will be distributed; and how this will affect departmental cash limits for 1980–81.

Mr. Peter Walker

A total of £2.1 million will be allocated to the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food and £0.9 million to the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries for Scotland. This will mean that the class III Vote 8 and class III Vote 6 cash limits will need to be increased by £2.1 million and £0.9 million respectively to £24.303 million and £47.160 million. Supplementary Supply Estimates will be presented in due course.
