HC Deb 17 November 1998 vol 319 cc575-6W
Mr. Andrew George

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what money has been allocated to each of the United Kingdom's sea fisheries committees for 1998–99. [59558]

Mr. Morley

Sea Fisheries Committees are committees of local government. They are funded by their constituent local authorities. No funds are provided directly by central Government.

The Statutory Instruments establishing each committee specify the proportionate contribution that each constituent local authority has agreed to make towards its committee's costs.
