§ 49. Sir B. Neven-Spenceasked the Minister of Food whether it is proposed to rough pack for export any part of the herring catch landed at Lerwick during the forthcoming season which may be surplus to requirements for home consumption.
§ Sir B. Smith:If by "rough pack" the hon. Member means hand packed un-gutted herrings, the reply is, "Yes, Sir." Arrangements have been made for up to half the exports of cured herrings to the Continent to be in this form.
