HC Deb 11 July 1940 vol 362 c1352W
Major Carver

asked the Minister of Pensions whether he has now succeeded in making final arrangements with the owners of fishing fleets respecting the payment of wages to those employés who have received war injuries; and whether he can give the names of firms who are still standing out of any such scheme?

Sir W. Womersley

The negotiations with the trawler owners have been completed and it is expected that the scheme for continuing wages to the survivors of trawlers lost by enemy action will come into operation very shortly. I hope that other fishing vessels will be brought under the scheme as far as practicable.
