§ 42. Mr. Grimondasked the President of the Board of Trade if there is now sufficient fishmeal to keep the factories occupied; and what is now the purpose of maintaining the duty on imported her rings for meal when some of the factories are sometimes closed for lack of supplies.
§ Mr. Vaughan-MorganThe Board of Trade announced on 20th November, 1958, that it was considering an application for the exemption from import duty of herring imported for reduction to meal and oil. I hope it will be possible to announce a decision soon.
§ Mr. GrimondI am grateful for that Reply, but has the Minister any up-to-date information about the position of the fishmeal factories and whether they have supplies or not?
§ Mr. Vaughan-MorganThere are some reports from the factory which are being studied at the moment in connection with this application.
