§ Mr. KIRKWOODasked the President of the Board of Trade whether the attention of the Food Council has been drawn to the fact that 23 boxes, of 500 herrings each box, caught in Kilbrannan Sound on 22nd May, only secured to the fishermen a net return of 9d. for the 11,500 herrings, although the public was paying 6d. for seven herrings of the same size on the following day; and whether it is proposed to take powers to deal with situations of this kind?
§ Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTERNo, Sir; but if the hon. Member will supply me with full details, I will ask the Food Council to look into the matter.
