HC Deb 16 May 1991 vol 191 c255W
Dr. Godman

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what is the extent of the required reduction of the United Kingdom's fishing fleet in percentage terms in relation to gross registered tonnes and engine power, under the European Community's multi-annual guidance programme in 1991 and 1992: and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Curry

The United Kingdom's current multi-annual guidance programme is being amended to reflect the number of registered, as opposed to active, fishing vessels, and the final 1991 target is not available. The 1992–96 MAGP has not yet been promulgated.
