HC Deb 24 January 1949 vol 460 c83W
88. Mr. Spence

asked the Minister of Food what profit or subsidy is incurred by the importation and sale of tinned salmon and tinned snoek, respectively, at their present retail prices.

Dr. Summerskill

No variety of canned fish is subsidised. The loss incurred on certain grades of canned salmon is more than offset by the profit on other grades. No loss is incurred on any grade of canned snoek.
