HC Deb 09 May 1967 vol 746 c201W
Mr. Evelyn King

asked the Secretary of State for Commonwealth Affairs what progress is being made in the provision of refrigeration for the fishing industry in the Seychelles.

Mr. Bowden

Negotiations are now in progress with a view to providing refrigeration facilities for the local inshore fishery by the middle of next year.

The larger scale commercial refrigeration required for deep sea fishing industry, creates greater problems which are now being examined by local and overseas commercial interests.
