§ 92. Mr. Edward Evansasked the Minister of Agriculture whether the subsidy at present being paid on catches of white fish and due to terminate at the 10W end of January, 1951, will be continued; and under what conditions.
§ Mr. G. BrownThe subsidy is to be continued for a further six months, subject, in the case of vessels between 70 feet and 140 feet in length fishing in the near and middle waters, to the owners furnishing, by the end of April next, detailed accounts of the operation of their vessels during 1950. Otherwise, the conditions of the scheme remain as before, but there are some minor changes in the scale of payments for the near and middle water vessels. The rate for inshore fishermen remains at 10d. per stone, reduced as before to 8d. for ungutted fish.
