HC Deb 10 June 1993 vol 226 c309W
Dr. Strang

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if she will list the average number of half days at sea provisionally allocated to fishing vessels(a) in each fishery and (b) in the United Kingdom as a whole.

Mrs. Shephard

The average of provisional allocations to fishing vessels licensed by MAFF, SOAFD and DANI is 275 half-days. Individual vessels may prosecute a variety of fisheries and therefore figures for the average provisional allocation per fishery cannot be given.
