HC Deb 13 April 1943 vol 388 c1058
67. Mr. Thorne

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food why a surplus of fish was not allowed to be sent away from Hull to other towns where there was a shortage?

The Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food (Mr. Mabane)

If, as I presume, my hon. Friend is referring to the relatively heavier landings at Hull during a few days last week, it is not correct to describe these landings as creating a surplus in the Hull zone. The rest of the Question, therefore, does not arise.
