HC Deb 26 October 1987 vol 121 c133W
Dr. Godman

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland when he expects to give approval for the ordering of a new fishery protection vessel; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Michael Forsyth

As the introduction of the new Norna at the beginning of 1988 will complete the current modernisation programme, the question of approving an order for a new fishery protection vessel does not arise.
