HC Deb 14 October 1941 vol 374 c1269W
Sir I. Fraser

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether he is taking steps to increase the capture of eels during the migration period; what are the financial arrangements connected with any such scheme; and how will the catch be marketed?

Mr. Hudson

A comprehensive scheme for increasing the capture of eels during the migration period is under consideration, but in view of the numerous associated questions involved it will not be practicable to put it into operation in time for the current season.
