§ Dr. Godmanasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food why there has been no publication of a sea fisheries statistical table for 1983.
§ Mr. MacGregorThe publication "Sea Fisheries Statistical Tables" provides detailed information on the fishing industry in the United Kingdom. Although most of the figures have been available for some time there have been operational difficulties in finalising a few of the tables. In the interim a statistical information notice (STATS 176/84) was issued on 23 July 1984 giving provisonal figures for landings in the United Kingdom.
It is expected that the publication "Sea Fisheries Statistical Tables 1983" will become available in about eight weeks time.
