HC Deb 01 February 1991 vol 184 c693W
Mr. Tony Banks

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs to which countries licences have been granted for fishing operations in the economic exclusion zone waters of British overseas territories.

Mr. Garel-Jones

Dependent territories of the United Kingdom do not have exclusive economic zones, but a number of them have fisheries jurisdictions. Licences have been issued to vessels and associations from a number of countries; it is not normal practice to enter into licence agreements with foreign Governments.
