HC Deb 09 January 1990 vol 164 c570W
Mr. Colvin

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he will take steps to devolve central control of the inshore fishing industry of England and Wales to a regional fisheries management organisation which would co-ordinate the work of his Ministry's fisheries inspectorate and provide the contract and administrative body for the sea fisheries committees; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Gummer

I have no plans to create such a regional fisheries management body, but I am looking at alternative quota management measures.
