HC Deb 19 February 1929 vol 225 cc934-5
18. Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he is now in a position to state whether any steps can be taken to acquire surplus catches of fish at the Scottish fishing ports, which would otherwise be destroyed, for distribution in the distressed areas, and especially in the mining districts?

Sir J. GILMOUR

I communicated with the Scottish Central Advisory Committee, and am informed that they are considering this question in consultation with the Fishery Board for Scotland.

Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY

Will the right hon. Gentleman let me know when a decision is reached?
