§ Mr. Kennedyasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether he has considered the complaint of the Kirkcaldy Fish Friers' Association regarding the meagre supplies of fresh or unsalted fish now available at Scottish ports; and whether he will take steps to promote a general inquiry with a view to increasing the supply?
Major Lloyd GeorgeThe complaint to which the right hon. Member refers has not reached my Department. The main factors responsible for the reduced supply of fresh fish at the present time are outside the control of the Government and no useful purpose would be served by holding an inquiry, though I will gladly consider any suggestions which my right hon. Friend may make.
