§ 35. Mr. McGradyTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what representations he has received about fishing limits in the Irish sea; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. CurryI have received inquiries from the National Federation of Fishermen's Organisations but am aware of 741W the concern of others. Any arrangement made to implement the provision for a 12-mile territorial sea for the Isle of Man would clearly, in relation to fisheries, have to safeguard the interests of all our fishermen and our Community obligations. I refer the hon. Member to the Adjournment debate on 13 December, Official Report, columns 1142–48.
