HC Deb 10 October 1939 vol 352 cc191-2W
Sir R. Acland

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether he will consider the difficulties of inshore fishermen at Ilfra-combe and Combe Martin, who were only given petrol allowances sufficient for a maximum of four days fishing; and if he will endeavour to improve their position?

Sir W. Womersley

Yes, Sir, and I can say that the position of these, and other inshore fishermen, will shortly be improved in the matter of petrol allowance.
