HC Deb 18 March 1943 vol 387 cc1343-4W
Major Vyvyan Adams

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether he is aware of the unfair and inadequate proportion of fish received in Leeds and district since the introduction of the Fish Zoning Scheme; and whether he will allot to Leeds supplying ports additional to those at present permitted?

Mr. Mabane

The answer to the first part of the Question is in the negative: figures supplied by the trade show that the quantity of fish received in Leeds and the surrounding districts has been slightly in excess of the entitlement on a per capita basis. My Noble Friend is now giving consideration to the suggestion made in the second part of the Question.
