§ Sir S. CrippsThe steps necessary to facilitate the resumption and expansion of our traditional exports, including herring, are among the matters now under discussion with the Italian trade delegation.
§ Mr. Douglas MarshallMay I ask the right hon. and learned Gentleman to take pilchards into consideration when these discussions are taking place?
§ Sir S. CrippsWe are taking everything into consideration.
§ Air-Commodore HarveyWill the right hon. and learned Gentleman see that wider powers are given to the Herring Industry Board to cover these sales in other countries in Europe as well as Italy?
§ Sir S. CrippsThat is not a matter for me.
