HC Deb 01 March 1935 vol 298 c1468W
Mr. ISAAC FOOT

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether he can make any statement upon the proposals made to him by the deputations representing the Cornish fishery industry when he recently visited the county of Cornwall?

Mr. ELLIOT

Most of the proposals made by the deputations representing the Cornish fishing industry related to matters falling within the sphere of the Sea-Fish Commission. The Commission have already reported on the herring industry and the Government's proposals in regard to this industry are embodied in the Herring Industry Bill, which is now before Parliament. The Commission are now investigating white fishing problems and intend to pay a visit to Cornwall at an early date.
