HC Deb 25 January 1944 vol 396 c566W
Mr. Granville

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty if he will give permission to local fishermen now to use the mouth of the river, of which he has been notified, for the purposes of inshore fishing and increasing the local food supply.

Mr. Alexander

Permits to these fishermen to enable them to use their boats for fishing in the mouth of the river may be granted under the Vessels (Immobilisation) Orders to those engaged in fishing by trade and in practice have been so granted by the Local Naval Authority. I regret, however, that permits for private pleasure fishing can only be granted up the river.
