HC Deb 20 February 1989 vol 147 c531W
Dr. David Clark

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will place the details of near market research projects in fisheries in the Library.

Mr. Donald Thompson

I will place in the Library the list of projects at Torry research station which we have identified for termination unless industry funding can be arranged. These projects are primarily concerned with the development of new products and processes. We will be continuing to fund work at Torry which is needed in support of Government policies for food safety and quality.

No near market projects are being carried out at my Department's other fisheries laboratories.
