HC Deb 03 February 1955 vol 536 cc141-2W
70. Mr. J. T. Hall

asked the Minister of Agriculture if he is aware of restrictive practices by trawler owners to keep up the prices of fish; and whether he will take steps to prevent such practices, which are harmful to the consumer.

79. Mr. Willey

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether he will make a statement on his proposals regarding the restrictive activities of the British trawler owners.

Mr. Amory

I understand that the distant-water trawler owners have decided to continue in operation the Distant-Water Vessels Development Scheme to which the hon. Members presumably refer. I am asking the owners to discuss the position further with both the White Fish Authority and my Department.
