§ Dr. Godmanasked the Secretary of State for Scotland why the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries (Scotland) did not publish a sea fisheries statistical table for 1983.
§ Mr. John MacKayI regret that, because of operational difficulties, the publication of the 1983 sea fisheries statistical tables has been delayed. We expect to publish these tables in May. The Department has continued to publish regularly monthly summaries of landings up to and including December 1984, as well as the most important annual summaries for 1983 and 1984. I have arranged for the hon. Member to have a copy of the latest publication.
