Mr. Fairgrieve
asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food how many whalers and shark catchers have visited British ports in each of the last five years for which figures are available.
Mr. Bishop
No official figures are kept showing visits to British ports by whalers and shark catchers. I understand, however, that over the past five years such vessels have put into British ports on only a few occasions.
