§ 5. Mr. ARTHUR MICHAEL SAMUELasked the Lord Privy Seal whether he is considering the installation of shellfish cleansing tanks on the model of that used at the Conway research station in order 220 to increase employment in coastal areas suitable for the development of mussel fisheries?
Mr. THOMASYes, Sir; but it is desirable that any tanks so erected shall be maintained and managed by a responsible local authority, and this has been found to involve certain technical difficulties which I am discussing with my right hon. Friends the Ministers of Health and Agriculture and Fisheries.
§ Mr. SAMUELWill the right hon. Gentleman invite the coastal authorities to make proposals to him so that he may consider this matter?
