67. Sir H. BRITTANasked the Minister of Agriculture whether, in view of the importance of fish as an article of food, and the fact that its consumption is almost stationary, any efforts are being made, and, if so, what, to develop the home market.

I am, however, always willing to do anything in my power to facilitate and encourage the increased production of fish and its delivery to the consumer in the best 1845 possible condition, although I feel that this is a matter in which the fishing industry itself must take the initiative.
