§ Mr. MUNROThe Fishery Board have no powers under the Act relating to river pollution, but if my attention were called to any specific case of the sort referred to by my hon. and learned Friend I should be prepared to consider whether within the1404W powers of the law, having regard to the exceptional conditions of the present time, any remedial action is possible.
