HC Deb 29 July 1946 vol 426 c79W
58. Mr. Dumpleton

asked the Minister of Agriculture what steps are being taken, in view of the cut in feeding-stuffs, to increase the supply of fishmeal to farmers.

Mr. Collick

The supply of fishmeal depends on the quantity of fish landed and the utilisation of waste material arising from it. Catching power is gradually increasing and as my right hon. Friend the Minister of Food proposes to alter the present Maximum Prices Order so as to provide an inducement to the landing of cod and coalfish with head on, an increase in fishmeal production may be expected.
