63. Mr. Duthie

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether he is yet able to announce a decision about the continuation of the white fish subsidy after the end of March, 1952.

66. Mr. G. R. Howard

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether he is now able to make a further statement regarding the white fish subsidy.

Sir T. Dugdale

Yes. The Government have decided to continue payment of the white fish subsidy for a further period of four months up to 31st July. The scales and conditions of payment are still to be settled, and will be announced later. The question whether a subsidy should continue to be paid after 31st July and, if so, on what terms, will be reviewed in the course of the next few months.
