HC Deb 16 December 1954 vol 535 c185W
84. Mr. Donnelly

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether he is aware of the decline in the number of ships fishing from the port of Milford Haven; and what steps he is taking to safeguard the future of the fishing industry operating from that port.

Mr. Amory

Yes; and I hope that the trawler-owners there will take advantage of the grants and loans available to help them rebuild their fleet. They are receiving the white fish subsidy paid to all near and middle-water vessels, and should increasingly benefit from the new mesh Regulations introduced to conserve fish stocks.
