HC Deb 23 February 1914 vol 58 c1395
36. Major ANSTRUTHER-GRAY

asked when the Report of the Interdepartmental Commission on Herring Trawling and other fishery matters will be promulgated?

Mr. HOBHOUSE

The Government Departments concerned in the question of trawling for herring have been engaged in extensive scientific and practical investigation, and the Inter-departmental Committee on Fisheries is now waiting the result of these investigations, which have necessitated the careful tabulation of the results. I am, therefore, unable to inform the hon. and gallant Member at present as to the date of the promulgation of the Report.
