HC Deb 07 July 1988 vol 136 c738W
77. Mr. McFall

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what recent discussions he has had with the fishing industry concerning the Sea Fish Industry Authority levy.

Mr. Gummer

The Sea Fish Industry Authority proposes to increase its levy with effect from 1 April 1989. It is currently discussing its idea with the sea fish industry before making a firm proposal in the autumn. I shall be informed of the industry's views once a formal proposal is made.
