§ Mr. Tony BanksTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will make it his policy to adopt economic sanctions against those countries which undermine international fisheries conservation agreements; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. CurryThe Government do not consider that they should promote the idea of economic sanctions. Rather we shall continue to work vigorously through the relevant forum of the International Whaling Commission to ensure that whales are properly conserved. It is widely recognised that we have had much success with this policy.
