HC Deb 01 December 1986 vol 106 cc471-2W
Mr. Wareing

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what new measures he is taking to help the fishing industry exploit the new fishing opportunities arising from the introduction of the new 150-mile fishery limit around the Falklands.

Mr. Gummer

We hope that the establishment of the Falkland Islands interim conservation and management zone, in itself, will give the United Kingdom fishing industry the opportunity to expand its activities around the Falklands. However, this should be seen as an opening for private enterprise.
