§ Mr. RedwoodTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what demands the138W United Kingdom is making within the EU to assist United Kingdom fishermen; and if the Government have sought a larger United Kingdom quota. [285]
§ Mr. MorleyI have been asked to reply.
The Government will negotiate to achieve changes to the Common Fisheries Policy which will assist United Kingdom fishermen, including strengthening the economic benefits that countries derive from their national quotas. The Government will seek increased quotas when they are justified by the state of the fish stocks.
