§ 31. Rear-Admiral Beamishasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether he is satisfied that the Scottish fishermen will be able to secure and land the incoming early summer herring; and whether he has plans for rendering available the transport for distributing the usual gluts of early herring quickly to inland districts?
Major Lloyd GeorgeThe answer to both parts of my hon. and gallant Friend's Question is in the affirmative.
Mr. RobertsonIs the hon. and gallant Gentleman taking steps to ensure that surplus herrings are frozen and stored in the millions of vacant cubic feet of cold storage so that feast and famine conditions can be avoided?
Major Lloyd GeorgeWe are making arrangements to preserve the herrings and storage accommodation will be provided.
