HC Deb 06 April 1911 vol 23 cc2428-9
Mr. TOBIN

asked the Secretary to the Treasury whether the Development Commissioners have recently appointed an advisory committee on fishery subjects; whether any persons have been appointed on such committee as representatives of either the Board of Agriculture and Fisheries or of local sea fishery committees, or of other English fishery interests; if so, whether he will give the names of such persons; whether the Lancashire and Western Sea Fisheries Joint Committee has expressed its dissatisfaction with the constitution of such advisory committee; and whether it is proposed to take any and, if so, what steps to secure the appointment upon such advisory committee of any representatives of the fishery interests in England and Wales?

Mr. HOBHOUSE

I beg to refer the hon. and learned Member to the answer which I gave yesterday to the hon. Member for St. Austell's.
