§ Mr. McQuarrieasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will arrange for the meetings between the Scottish Fishermen's Federation and the officials of the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries to be held on Friday of each week.
§ Mr. John MacKayWhenever possible meetings with the Scottish Fishermen's Federation are arranged for a time that ensures that the federation can be adequately represented. I am aware of the fact that on one or two occasions recently meetings involving several organisations have been called at relatively short notice, but that is exceptional and there are no plans to change the general practice.
