Fish Prices

HC Deb 21 November 1945 vol 416 c432

56. Mr. Boothby

asked the Minister of Food when he proposes to announce the winter schedule of fish prices.

Sir B. Smith

I announced the winter fish prices on 13th November.

Mr. Boothby

As the Minister made this arrangement six weeks later than he did last year, and as the winter prices represent a considerable advantage to the fishermen, will he make the new prices retrospective?

Sir B. Smith

No, Sir.
