HC Deb 26 July 1910 vol 19 c1938
Mr. ARBUTHNOT

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if the Lancashire and Western Sea Fisheries Joint Committee are handicapped, through lack of funds, in their efforts to improve, by scientific research and otherwise, the sea fisheries within their jurisdiction; and if he will make a Grant under the terms of the Development and Road Improvement Funds Act, 1909, in order to assist the committee in this work?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

An application has been received from the Lancashire and Western Sea Fisheries Joint Committee for a Grant under the terms of the Development and Road Improvement Funds Act, 1909; and this application has been forwarded, in accordance with the terms of that Act, to the Board of Agriculture and Fisheries for transmission to the Development Commissioners. No report has been yet received from the Commissioners.
