HC Deb 09 December 1963 vol 686 c6W
44. Mr. Hector Hughes

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will make a statement on the working and effects of the various white fish subsidies now in operation.

Mr. Scott-Hopkins

No. The current arrangements were introduced only a little over a year ago, following the passage of the Sea Fish Industry Act, 1962, and it is too early to assess their effects.
