HC Deb 21 June 1926 vol 197 c17
31. Mr. HARRISON

asked the Minister of Agriculture the number of lectures on fish he has arranged to be broadcast; the dates on which the lectures will take place; and the subject matter of such lectures?

Mr. GUINNESS

A lecture on "Life in the Sea at Midsummer" was given on the 18th instant. Provisional arrangements have been made with regard to a lecture on shell-fish, and others are under discussion. I am not yet able to announce the dates of these lectures.

Mr. HARRISON

Will the right hon. Gentleman consider having one of these lectures given which will describe the life of the fishermen, the dangers of their calling, and the fact that there is a higher percentage death-rate among them than even in the mining industry?

Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHY
