HC Deb 23 June 1992 vol 210 c187W
Mr. Kirkwood

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will publish the guidance his Department is issuing to authorities in Britain enforcing the EC fish and shellfish hygiene directives on how to advise Scottish producers and processors in applying for derogations for the directives provisions.

Sir Hector Monro

[holding answer 15 May 1992]: Application forms for derogations, accompanied by explanatory memoranda, were sent to district and island authorities in Scotland by my Department on 30 April. District and island council environmental health depart-ments are issuing this material to those in the fish and shellfish trade known to them and to other interested parties on application. My Department will also supply copies of the forms and memoranda on request arid I am arranging for copies to be deposited with the Library of the House.
