§ Sir H. BRITTAINasked the Minister of Agriculture if he can give the number of cold storage depots which exist in or near any seaports for the preservation of fish; and if he has knowledge of any further depots being, or to be, built for that purpose?
Mr. WOODThere are cold storage facilities at practically all the fishing ports of any importance, but they are used for general refrigeration purposes and not specially allocated to fish. At some places a considerable amount of cured fish is placed in cold storage but the use of cold stores for fresh fish is very limited.
