HC Deb 08 December 1961 vol 650 c189W
Mr. Rees

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what investigations have been carried out by his Department in connection with the cultivation and development of sea foods other than fish.

Mr. Vane

No investigations have been carried out by the Department into sea foods other than fish or shellfish.

Edible sea weed is eaten in certain parts of the United Kingdom, but the natural supply, which is only partially exploited, is considerable and there is no cultivation.
