HC Deb 20 October 2003 vol 411 cc400-1W
Mr. Andrew Turner

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs if she will list the fishing stop orders made in the last 12 months. [132528]

Mr. Bradshaw

No orders have been made in the last 12 months under the provisions of the Sea Fish (Conservation) Act 1967 prohibiting fishing for specified quota stocks. However, individual groups of fishermen, including the under 10 metre fleet, have been prohibited from fishing for specified stocks through the variation of their fishing vessel licences.
