Sea Fisheries Committee

HC Deb 03 April 1996 vol 275 cc246-7W

Mr. Ieuan Wyn Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will establish an all-Wales sea fisheries committee; and if he will make a statement. [23798]

Mr. Richards

Sea Fisheries Committees are set up under the Sea Fisheries Regulation Act 1966 at the request of their constituent local authorities. This is therefore a matter for the local authorities or the SFCs themselves.
