Snoek (Hansard, 10 November 1948)

§ 50. Lieut.-Colonel Sir Thomas Moore
asked the Minister of Food what contracts or arrangements are now in existence for the provision of snoek.

§ Dr. Summerskill
Five contracts are in existence for the provision of snoek. Under these, a balance of 35,500 cases will be shipped this year.

§ Sir T. Moore
While we are on the subject, could the hon. Lady give a few hints as to what tasty dishes may be made out of this raw material?

§ Dr. Summerskill
Certainly. If the hon. and gallant Member likes to come and see me tomorrow, I will tell him.

§ Mrs. Jean Mann
Although this Question purports to show an interest on the part of Ayr Burghs in this commodity, is the hon. Lady aware that as far as snoek is concerned the rest of Scotland could not care less?

§ Mr. Somerville Hastings
Would my hon. Friend consider christening the snoek by some more appetising name?
