HC Deb 27 January 1984 vol 52 c728W
Mr. J. Enoch Powell

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food how long after the coming into force of the Diseases of Fish Act 1983 he expects to lay before the House the draft of an order under section 1(9) of that Act.

Mr. MacGregor

Before my right hon. Friend and my right hon. Friends the Secretaries of State for Scotland and for Wales could make such an order, consultations would be needed with the United Kingdom interests concerned. We hope to be in a position to start such discussions shortly.
