HC Deb 12 March 1991 vol 187 c457W
Mr. Geraint Howells

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will make a statement on the present state of the fishing industry in Ceredigion.

Mr. David Hunt

About 70 licensed vessels operate out of ports in Ceredigion, the majority on a part-time and/or seasonal basis. Over the period 1985 to 1989 the quantity of fish landed has remained fairly constant at around 50 tonnes, but the value has increased from £88,000 in 1985 to £216,000 in 1989.
