§ Sir A. SINCLAIRasked the President of the Board of Trade whether the restrictions upon the imports of foreign fish in each of the next three years will apply to imports or to landings or to both in 2969W proportions to be decided by the foreign countries concerned; and whether restrictions upon imports of fish from countries other than those with which agreements have been made will be dependent upon agreements being reached or whether, in the absence of agreement, they will be imposed?
§ Dr. BURGINThe restriction on imports of foreign fish will apply both to imports from foreign countries, and to direct landings from fishing boats registered in those countries. In the case of countries with which no trade agreement has been concluded, restrictions analogous to those included in the trade agreements will be imposed. The Governments of all the countries principally concerned have been informed of the proposed restrictions, and have been invited themselves to regulate the supplies of fish from their respective countries to the United Kingdom.
