HC Deb 24 January 1945 vol 407 cc818-9
48. Mr. Boothby

asked the Minister of Food whether he is aware that the experiments carried out by the Torry Research Station in connection with the preservation of fish have now proved that the method of quick freezing is highly satisfactory; and whether he is taking any action to provide appropriate freezing plant and cold storage facilities at the various fishing ports.

Colonel Llewellin

The results of this limited experiment have so far been very satisfactory. Arrangements are in hand for larger scale experiments in order to see whether this process promises to be commercially successful.

Dr. Morgan

Will the Minister consider the advisability of placing his report in the Library?

Colonel Llewellin

There is no one report. There were a number of experiments at the station in Aberdeen.

Dr. Morgan

There must be a report on the experiments and we would like to know about them.
