asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what estimate he has made of the total area of sea around England, Wales and Northern Ireland which would fall within the proposed 200-mile fishing limit; and what proportion this is of the total area of sea around all the countries of the EEC which would fall within the proposed 200-mile fishing limit.
