§ 46. Mr. Austin MitchellTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what proposals he has for reducing the costs and other burdens borne by the fishing industry; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. GummerThese matters are subject to frequent review and I would be happy to respond to any specific point which the hon. Member may have in mind. At a time of increasing prosperity in the industry with low fuel costs674W and value of landings at record levels, it is appropriate for fishermen to continue to make a contribution towards the cost of the services provided for it.
