HC Deb 08 October 1941 vol 374 cc999-1000W
Mr. Boothby

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether any steps are to be taken to increase the supply of herring for the home market?

Major Lloyd George

The supply of herring for the home market is to be increased by shipments from Iceland. Every endeavour is being made to secure as large a quantity as possible from this source but the quantity available will largely depend upon the productivity of the various Icelandic fishing grounds.
