§ Mr. Boothbyasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether consideration is being given to the possibility of supplying cured herring to Russia; and, if these are required, whether the necessary arrangements will be made for the prosecution of the autumn herring fishing?
Major Lloyd GeorgeAdequate arrangements will be made for the autumn herring season so far as hostilities will permit. There is very little prospect, however, that the landings will be in excess of the requirements of the United Kingdom.
