HC Deb 05 June 1946 vol 423 c1997
54. Mr. Douglas Marshall

asked the Minister of Food whether he has yet consulted with the Minister of Agriculture upon the adjustment of the levy with regard to the inshore fishing industry; and if he has any statement to make.

Mr. Strachey

Consultations with the Ministry of Agriculture have begun and I will make a statement as soon as I can.

Mr. Marshall

If I put down a further question in the first week after the Recess, will the Minister be in a position to give another answer?

Mr. Strachey

I cannot say exactly how long the consultations will take, but we will certainly try to have a statement ready by then.
