§ 64. Mr. J. L. Williamsasked the Minister of Food if he has considered a complaint from the Scottish Federation of Fishmongers that, since allocations were abandoned the distribution of prime fish in Glasgow and Newhaven markets 9W has been unsatisfactory; and what action he proposes to take in the matter.
§ Mr. StracheyI have carefully considered the complaint. But the Scottish Federation is mistaken in thinking that the position has changed. Even during the period of control of distribution it was not practicable to arrange for separate distribution of the kinds known as prime fish, which form a very small proportion of the total supplies.
