§ Mr. NorrisThis is an operational matter for the Marine Safety Agency. I have asked the chief executive to write to the hon. Member.
Letter from R. M. Bradley to Ms Joan Walley, dated 6 December 1994:
The Secretary of State has asked me to reply to your Question about the public availability of copies of the Fishing Vessels (Safety Provisions) Rules 1975.The Rules were published as Statutory Instrument 1975 No. 330. Copies of Statutory Instruments are normally available to the public through HMSO Bookshops but SI 1975 No. 330 is now out-of-print. However, photo-copies of out-of-print Parliamentary, statutory and regulatory publications can be obtained through HMSO Books (Photocopies Section), PO Box 276, London SW8 5DT at a cost £4.70 (inc. VAT) per complete copy required.I will arrange for this information to be passed on to the Chief Executive of the South Western Fish Producers Organisation and also to the Fishermen's Federations.
