HC Deb 03 April 1911 vol 23 cc1790-1
Mr. ROBERT HARCOURT

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Agriculture whether he is aware that a fisheries congress and exhibition is to be held in Copenhagen in the summer of 1912, special prominence being given to the motor and oil-engine section; and whether he contemplates taking steps to ensure that the Britsh fishing industry in all its branches shall be represented, both in the exhibition and at the congress?

Sir E. STRACHEY

Yes, Sir; and we have brought the matter to the notice of the National Sea Fisheries Protection Association and of the trade journals. We shall be glad to do what we can to carry out the suggestion made in the latter part of the question.
