§ Mr. Henderson Stewartasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he is aware of the shortage of fish baskets; and what steps he is taking to increase the supply.

§ Mr. WestwoodI am aware that owing to shortage of material there has recently been a scarcity of fish baskets at certain Scottish fishing centres. Every effort has been made to meet these difficulties, including the securing of first priority for the making of these baskets and the introduction of wire baskets at some ports. I hope, however, that the general position will be relieved in the near future with the arrival in this country of a substantial consignment of willows.
