§ Mr. David PorterTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will make a statement on the present restrictions on non-pressure stock licences, in particular as they affect the Lowestoft fishing fleet.
§ Mr. Gummer[holding answer 25 March 1988]: These restrictions were introduced last August on a holding basis to ensure that United Kingdom quotas are preserved for the United Kingdom fishing industry. I am continuing to keep the restrictions under close review.
