§ Air-Commodore Harveyasked the Minister of Food what steps are being taken to make fish available in shops at a price which bears relation to the low price received by fishing vessel owners at the present time.
§ Mr. StracheyIt would be quite impracticable for me to vary the maximum price schedules from day to day in order to enforce the passing on of reductions in fish prices at the ports. I believe, however, that the recent change in licensing policy, which has led to a big increase in the number of retail fish businesses, will stimulate traders to pass on such reductions.
