HC Deb 05 June 1919 vol 116 c2234W
Mr. ROSE

asked the Food Controller whether his attention has been called to the action of fishermen on the North-East Coast of Scotland in dumping their catches into the sea rather than sell at the existing prices; whether several shots have been disposed of in this manner; and what action he proposes to take to prevent such wholesale waste of food?

Mr. ROBERTS

My attention has been called to the reports that fishermen on the North-East Coast of Scotland have dumped some of their catches rather than sell at the existing prices. Full investigation is being made and if necessary, action will be taken to prevent any such wastage of human food.
