HC Deb 18 January 2001 vol 361 c349W
Mr. Alan Campbell

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what additional support is being made available to fishing communities adversely affected by cuts to total allocated catches and quotas for nephrops. [145571]

Mr. Morley

Fisheries Departments in England and the devolved Administrations are making more than £60 million available over the next three years under the EU fisheries structural fund. We will be holding discussions with fishing industry representatives over the coming weeks to consider what additional measures are necessary to assist fishing communities including the recovery of North sea stocks.
