HC Deb 01 August 1961 vol 645 cc147-8W
58. Mr. Hector Hughes

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he is aware that his delay in making a statement dealing with the criticisms of the Report of the Fleck Committee of Inquiry into the fishing industry made in the Herring Industry Board Report for 1960 and in announcing his policy regarding the matter specified in those criticisms is prejudicial to the fishing industry; and if he will now announce his plans.

Mr. Maclay

A White Paper about the Government's proposals on the United Kingdom fishing industry as a whole is being laid before Parliament today.
