§ 46. Mr. McEWENasked the Prime Minister, in view of the present state of the fishing industry, how soon the report of the committee of the Economic Advisory Council which was set up in June may be expected?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI understand that there have been unforeseen delays with this report owing to recent political conditions, but the committee hope at their next meeting to settle finally the terms of their report.
Viscountess ASTORWill the right hon. Gentleman bear in mind the appalling condition of fishermen in the West Country and now that the political delay is over will he realise that he has a House of Commons which will be behind him in taking any steps to protect British fishermen?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI am perfectly certain that the committee is surveying the whole situation.
§ Mr. McEWENCan the right hon. Gentleman say when the next session of the committee is likely to take place?
