HC Deb 28 June 1948 vol 452 c173W
44. Mr. Boothby

asked the Minister of Food whether he will give an assurance that no more Norwegian herring will be imported into this country for the purpose of being dyed, and subsequently sold to the public as British kippers.

Mr. Strachey

No. These imports have been most useful in the past few Winters and we may need them next year. They are processed here in exactly the same way as British-caught herring.
