HC Deb 17 October 1916 vol 86 c428W
Mr. TYSON WILSON

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware that from the 6th instant to the 11th instant 2,265 boxes of fresh fish from Holland, of the value of £4,500, were condemned as unfit for food; and whether, in view of the price of this atricle of food, he will place the distribution of it in more capable hands than it is at present?

Lord R. CECIL

Such loss as has been incurred has been the result of transport under war conditions, and what precautions are possible are taken to prevent this loss.
