HC Deb 10 August 1914 vol 65 c2253
Mr. FELL

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether arrangements are being made by the Government for the insurance of vessels employed in the fishing industry?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

Conferences have taken place between some representatives of the fishing industry and the Board of Agriculture and Fisheries and the Board of Trade recently on this subject. We hope shortly to issue a statement.
