Mr. E. P. Smithasked the Secretary of State for War whether he will cause the Lydd Ranges Bye-Laws, 1939, to be circulated to the fishermen of Dungeness; and arrange a meeting with the fishermen, as promised at the Conference held at Lydd in 1938,to discuss the future programme of firing practice.
§ Mr. LawsonEvery fisherman on the books of the Port Fishery Captain at Rye—whose area covers all fishing interests between Shoreham and Ramsgate—is provided with an extract from the Admiralty Chart showing the sea danger area of Lydd Ranges. Copies of the bye-laws have been issued to all fisheries and are available for inspection at any time in Lydd. Efforts were made recently to arrange a meeting with the fishermen, but without success.
