§ Mr. Boothbyasked the Minister of War Transport whether he is aware that a number of obsolete drifters have recently been permitted by his Department to prosecute the fishing in an unseaworthy condition; and whether he will ensure that in future all such craft are refused a certificate.
§ Mr. BarnesNo, sir I am not aware of any such cases, but I will have further inquiries made. If the hon. Member can supply particulars which would enable me to identify the fishing craft in question I would be pleased to receive them.
