HC Deb 17 April 1956 vol 551 cc57-8W
72. Mr. Hector Hughes

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland, in view of the fact that fish is now being sent by freight aircraft from Britain to Canada, whether he will consult with the British Transport Commission to devise arrangements whereby fish may similarly be sent by freight aircraft from Aberdeen to London.

Mr. J. Stuart

While fish is occasionally sent by air from Scotland to Canada and the Continent, I have no evidence that the advantages of air transport in this country would generally compensate for the cost. It is open however to the interests concerned to make such arrangements if they wish.
