HC Deb 08 April 1946 vol 421 c255W
Sir E. Graham-Little

asked the Minister of Food if he will consider, during the shortage of fats and oils, using fast motor-craft now redundant in capturing some of the small whales, porpoises and sharks found off our Western coasts and the tunny fish which appear off Scarborough in the late summer.

Mr. T. Williams:

I will gladly consider the hon. Member's suggestion, but I doubt whether, even if the necessary craft and skilled personnel were available, the results likely to be achieved would justify the labour and expense that would be involved.
