HC Deb 26 October 1950 vol 478 c398W
Sir T. Moore

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether the apparatus for killing whales by electricity has now been given sufficient trial to permit him to decide whether steps should be taken to render its use obligatory.

Mr. T. Williams

No. The trials carried out during the 1949–50 Antarctic whaling season were not conclusive, but further tests will be carried out in the coming season.
