HC Deb 17 February 1964 vol 689 cc164-5W
Mr. Wolrige-Gordon

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what other markets for herring there are in Stornoway in addition to fish and oil.

Mr. Noble

There is normally a small demand in Stornoway for fresh herring and there are facilities for various forms of processing. In 1963 2,993 craps of herring were bought at Stornoway for freshing and kippering, 833 crans for curing, 1,180 crans for freezing, and 357 crans for marinating; in addition 5,387 were bought for meal and oil.
