HC Deb 28 September 1939 vol 351 cc1509-10W
Viscountess Astor

asked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster whether he is aware that, in connection with the scheme for fish control, men have been sent to Plymouth who have not been conversant with local conditions and whose arrival has caused local men to be displaced and so deprived of their means of earning their livelihood; and whether he will reconsider and reduce the rate of administration charges for the fish control and expedite payments?

Mr. W. S. Morrison

The original scheme for the distribution of fish has been withdrawn. Every endeavour is being made to expedite the payments which fall to be made there under.
