HC Deb 18 December 1958 vol 597 c282W
Mr. Gresham Cooke

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he will arrange that at the next whaling conference the question of ensuring that the destruction of whales is carried out as humanely as possible is placed on the agenda.

Mr. Hare

The next meeting of the International Whaling Commission to which I assume my hon. Friend refers takes place in June, 1959. I shall certainly consider in the light of the circumstances obtaining the suggestion that my hon. Friend has put forward.
