HC Deb 17 December 1984 vol 70 cc30-1W
Mr. John David Taylor

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what fishing controls exist around the Falkland Islands.

Mr. Renton

Beyond the three-mile limit there are no special fishing controls. We are actively considering the possibility of establishing an exclusive fisheries limit (EFL) around the Falkland Islands. As the Select Committee on Foreign Affairs recognise in its report, this raises a number of complex issues. No decisions have yet been taken.
