HC Deb 26 April 1923 vol 163 cc699-700W
Mr. ROYCE

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether he is aware of the very large increase of seals in the Wash; that in consequence the destruction of fish is so great that the fishing industry in this area is seriously menaced; and whether his Department will take steps to effect the destruction of these pests?

legislation suggested could not check transactions in foreign countries, and is not contemplated.
