HC Deb 23 February 1948 vol 447 cc1608-9
66. Squadron-Leader Kinghorn

asked the Minister of Agriculture if he is aware of the depredations of the ever-growing colony of seals now settled off Great Yarmouth; and if his Department will take steps to remove this danger to the livelihood of the local longshore fishermen.

Mr. T. Williams

I have seen reports that seals are causing damage to the fisheries off Great Yarmouth, but their destruction is the responsibility of the Sea Fisheries Committee and the fishermen themselves.
