HC Deb 23 May 1990 vol 173 c227W
Mr. Buchanan-Smith

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will make a statement about the future organisation of the Scottish fisheries protection services.

Mr. Rifkind

I have decided that the Scottish fisheries protection services should become a candidate for executive agency status within the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries for Scotland under the "next steps" initiative.
