HC Deb 26 July 1939 vol 230 cc1607-8W
Mr. FOOT

asked the Minister of Agriculture the number of county fishing com- mittees which provide for the payment of travelling expenses to fishermen representatives attending the meetings of the committees?

Mr. N. BUXTON

So far as I am aware, no local fisheries committee provides for the payment of travelling expenses to fishermen's representatives attending the meetings of the committee. Doubts have been raised whether they have authority to do so, and I propose to discuss the question with my right hon. Friend the Minister of Health.
