HC Deb 30 March 1911 vol 23 c1511
Major WHITE

asked the Prime Minister whether he is aware that dissatisfaction has been expressed by the Lancashire and Western Sea Fisheries Joint Committee with the constitution of the Advisory Committee on Fishery Subjects; that no representative of any English fishery board has been appointed to that Committee; and whether he will endeavour to secure that in respect to this, as well as with regard to grants for fishery development, England may receive at least some share of the consideration which has been extended to Scotland and Ireland?

Mr. HOBHOUSE

I beg to refer the hon. Member to the answer which I gave yesterday to the hon. Member for the Isle of Thanet.

Mr. MORRELL

May I ask the Prime Minister whether he is aware that the constitution of this Committee has caused great dissatisfaction in Lancashire, and that it is composed of precisely those bodies who are already getting more than their fair share of Government grants?

The PRIME MINISTER

I was not aware of that.

Mr. MORRELL

Will the Prime Minister inquire into the matter?
