HC Deb 25 November 1947 vol 444 c268W
86. Brigadier Mackeson

asked the Minister of Food how many dollars were spent in North and South America in the purchase of silver hake between the 1st November, 1945, and the 1st November, 1947.

Dr. Summerskill

Separate figures for silver hake are not available as supplies of this fish were imported on private account, not by the Ministry of Food. No such fish has been imported from South America.
