HC Deb 23 March 1994 vol 240 c325W
36. Mr. Kirkwood

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what steps he proposes to provide further assistance to the Scottish inshore fishing fleet; and if he will make a statement.

The fishing industry in Scotland benefits from a range of public support, including financial support from the European Union. Consideration is being given to future arrangements for such support, by preparation of a United Kingdom sectoral plan for fisheries.
