HC Deb 24 March 1952 vol 498 c17W
84. Major Anstruther-Gray

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that the restrictions placed upon the import of goods into France will have a disastrous effect upon the export of lobsters from Scotland; and what action he proposes to take in the matter.

Mr. Hopkinson

The new French quotas have not yet been fixed. If, however, these quotas turn out to bear with undue severity on the trade to which my hon. and gallant Friend refers, we shall do our best to persuade the French authorities to help us in this matter.
