HC Deb 24 February 1981 vol 999 c351W
Mr. Wall

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will take steps to prevent the illegal landing of herring at Ostend and its subsequent export to the United Kingdom.

Mr. Buchanan-Smith

We are disturbed by the recent allegations of further landings of herring. We are drawing these to the attention of the Commission. As we have emphasised in the CFP negotiations, the Commission must ensure that all member States properly enforce fisheries regulations.
