§ Sir R. Glynasked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster whether he will make inquiry into the difficulties now ex- 1948W perienced by fried-fish merchants in all parts of the country to obtain the supplies of filleted fish that they require in view of the importance of this food in many 1949W rural areas, especially now, when the normal population is increased by evacuated children from cities; and will he consult with the Secretary for Mines in order that a sufficient ration of petrol may be provided for bona fide fish merchants to get round the villages in their customary manner?
§ Mr. W. S. MorrisonI am aware that difficulties, both of supply and distribution, exist, and arrangements have been made for representatives of the trade to discuss these difficulties with the Department early next week.
