§ 51. Major Sir Basil Neven-Spenceasked the Minister of Agriculture if it is proposed to compensate fishermen whose nets have deteriorated in store whilst they were away on Service.
§ Mr. T. WilliamsI would refer the hon and gallant Member to the answer given by my right hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Scotland, to a similar Question on 19th February last.
§ Sir B. Neven-SpenceDoes the right hon. Gentleman realise that those men on coming back from the Forces have nothing with which to engage in herring fishing in the forthcoming season? Will he see that they get the tools so that they can do the job?
§ Mr. WilliamsIt the hon. and gallant Gentleman will look at the answer he will find the Government have taken action to help fishermen to get both ships and equipment.
