HC Deb 28 October 1937 vol 328 cc279-80W
Mr. Benjamin Smith

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether it is the intention of His Majesty's Government to implement by legislation the report of the white fish industry in this Session of Parliament?

Mr. Dalton

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether he is aware of the grave dissatisfaction which has been caused by the prolonged delay of His Majesty's Government in taking action on the report of the Sea Fish Commission; and whether he can now state the intentions of the Government in this matter?

Mr. W. S. Morrison

I would refer to the statement made in His Majesty's Speech that the House will be invited to pass legislation to provide for the re-organisation of the white fish industry and for other matters related to sea fisheries. The necessary legislation will be laid before the House shortly.
