HC Deb 19 March 1987 vol 112 cc612-3W
Mr. Duffy

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, what plans he has for accelerating the modernisation of the United Kingdom fishing fleet.

Mr. Gummer

Consideration is currently being given to a possible new grant scheme, in the light of views expressed by representatives of the fishing industry. I hope to be able to make a further announcement shortly.
