HC Deb 08 October 1941 vol 374 cc997-8W
Mr. Henderson Stewart

asked the Parliament Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether he has considered the representations of the hon. Member for East Fife with regard to the prices now paid to fishermen; and whether he has any statement to make?

Major Lloyd George

Yes, Sir. I am saitsfied that the reduced maximum prices now in force give fishermen a fair return for their services, taking into account present abnormal conditions. These prices are substantially above pre-war levels.
