To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, pursuant to his answer of 17 November 1997, Official Report, column 22, concerning fish stocks, what information was given by his Department's scientists to the representatives of the fishing industry who met them on Thursday 13 November. [17285]
The scientists concerned were staff of the Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science and I have asked the Agency's Chief Executive to reply to the right hon. Member direct.
Letter from P. W. Greig-Smith to Mr. Michael Jack, dated 21 November 1997:
Dr. Cunningham has asked me to respond your Parliamentary Question concerning information given by this Department's Scientists to the representatives of the Fishing Industry on 13 November.[17285]
I would advise that the International Council for Exploration of the Sea's Advisory Committee on Fishery Management (ACFM) met from 22–31 October. At this meeting, ACFM prepared advice for the management of many of the commercial fish stocks important to the UK. Dr. J. Horwood (CEFAS) was the UK representative and Dr. R. Cook (FRS, Aberdeen) also attended.
On 13 November CEFAS scientists gave representatives of the fishing industry their summary of the expected ACFM advice. The attached table was handed to the industry. The final column is CEFAS' interpretation of the ACFM advice for catch limits in 1998. As was explained to the industry, these figures should be used with some caution. They are based upon the latest draft of the ACFM advice, and the figures are subject to change.
The final ACFM report is expected very soon.
