§ Mr. Hector Hughesasked the President of the Board of Trade if he will make a statement on the arrangements he is making for imports of canned salmon from Japan to Britain with particular reference to the price, quality and date and to the effect of such imports on the market for British home-caught salmon.
§ Mr. LowI would refer the hon. and learned Member to the Answer I gave to the hon. Member for Sunderland, North (Mr. Willey) on the 13th December. The licences prescribe no conditions regarding qualities or prices; the trade is on private account and these matters are for settlement on a normal commercial basis. I can hardly believe that the market for British fresh salmon will be affected.
