§ 71. Mr. D. Marshallasked the Minister of Food, if he will take steps to ensure at the first auction boxes of fish are so labelled that they show whether the fish contained comes from the near, middle or distant waters, and the date upon which the fish was caught.
§ Dr. SummerskillNo, Sir. The hon. Member's suggestion, even were it practicable, would be most difficult to enforce. It would be of little help to first-hand buyers, who know the origin and approximate catching date of the fish for sale, and the identity of the fish would be lost at subsequent stages of distribution.
