HC Deb 14 May 1969 vol 783 c216W
49. Mr. Hector Hughes

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if, in view of the importance to the fishing industry in the North Sea and further north fishing grounds of modern echo meters and other scientific instruments to keep a register of unusual recordings and reachings, he will take steps to improve the scanners and other apparatus now in use for these purposes.

Mr. Hoy

The Ministry's fisheries laboratory will continue to play an active part, with other Departments concerned and the White Fish Authority, in assisting the development of improved fish finding equipment.
