§ Mr. Hector Hughesasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what steps he has taken during the last six months, and plans to take, to protect British fishing grounds and coastal areas from pollution and disease caused by the dumping of barrels of rat poison and other poisonous and deleterious substances in the shallow waters round Great Britain.
§ Mr. SoamesI am not aware of any dumping of barrels of rat poison and other deleterious substances in the shallow waters around Great Britain. The rest of the question, therefore, does not arise.
