HC Deb 22 February 1949 vol 461 c276W
Mr. Hurd

asked the Minister of Food if he has now revised the prices fixed for fish so as to encourage fishermen to dress fish ashore instead of at sea, thereby making available more offal for the manufacture of fish meal.

Mr. Strachey

Yes; I reduced the maximum first-hand price of headless fish on 4th December last by 3d. per stone and so took away the financial incentive to head fish at sea.
