§ 69. Mr. GRITTENasked the Minister of Agriculture whether he will take steps to make it obligatory that all foreign-owned fishing vessels landing catches in England shall bring a manifest filled up after the fish is on board and viséd by the British Consul at their port of departure?
Sir A. BOSCAWENI am informed that such an obligation could not be imposed upon foreign fishing vessels without legislation, and I am not aware of any advantage likely to accrue which would justify me in introducing such legislation.
