§ Mr. SUTHERLANDasked the Prime Minister whether a Special Committee has been appointed to advise the War Trade Department on the policy to be followed in allowing the export inter alia of cured fish from this country and in the granting of the necessary licences to export; how the Committee is composed; whether Scotland is represented on it; and, if so, by whom?
§ Captain Viscount WOLMERMy right hon. Friend has asked me to answer this question. No Special Committee has been appointed to advise the War Trade Department on the policy to be followed in allowing the export of cured fish from this country. Licences for the export of fish are granted on the recommendation of the Director of the War Trade Department, who consults the Ministry of Food and other Departments concerned.
