HC Deb 16 May 1985 vol 79 c204W
35. Mr. Austin Mitchell

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether, in view of the falling catches of white fish in the North sea, he will press for the reduction of by-catches in industrial fishing in the pout box from the temporary concession of 18 per cent. down to 5 per cent.

Mr. MacGregor

I have at this stage nothing to add to the reply which I gave the hon. Member on 14 March.
