HC Deb 20 June 1984 vol 62 c192W
Mr. Chope

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what representations he has received relating to the need to licence clam fishermen; and whether he will make a statement.

Mr. MacGregor

I have received no such representations. However, scientists from my Department are in touch with officials of the responsible authority, Associated British Ports, Southampton, about possible conservation measures for the clam fishery in the district.
