HC Deb 03 December 1936 vol 318 cc1450-1W
Mr. T. WILLIAMS

asked the Minister of Agriculture what was the total consumption in Great Britain for the years 1913 to 1930 and each subsequent year of beef of all kinds, mutton and lamb, bacon and pork, showing the quantities produced at home and imported in each case?

Mr. W. S. MORRISON

The information desired is as follows:

meshes of fishing nets and size limits for fish?

Mr. W. S. MORRISON

I have received a report of the conclusions of the conference, at which 12 Governments were represented. On the subject of the regulation of the meshes of fishing nets the delegates were almost unanimously in favour of the measurements required by the regulations at present in force in this country. On the subject of size limits for fish, also, a large measure of agreement was reached. There were, however, differences of view which made it desirable that the delegates should have an opportunity of further consulting their respective Governments. The report of the conference will accordingly be transmitted to the Governments concerned without avoidable delay, and I hope that the conference will reassemble early in the new year, and will then be able to draft proposals which might be embodied in an International Convention.

Forward to
