HC Deb 22 July 1987 vol 120 c261W
28. Mr. Wallace

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what measures he proposes to take further to promote the development of fish farming in Scotland.

Mr. Michael Forsyth

The industry has grown spectacularly in recent years with for example the added value of farmed salmon to the economy in 1987 estimated at £60 million. Government assistance at 1986 prices amounts to some £26 million to date and is continuing.
