HC Deb 07 July 1965 vol 715 c272W
Mr. Hector Hughes

asked the Minister of Technology if he will make a statement on the new discovery by Aberdeen's Torry Research Station, under the auspices of the Herring Industry Board, whereby kipper sausages can be produced with the herring bones eliminated.

Mr. Cousins

Staff of the British Food Manufacturing Industries Research Association, working at the Torry Research Station with the support of the White Fish Authority and the Herring Industry Board, are trying to develop a variety of new fish products. Work for the Herring Industry Board includes the production of a smoked fish sausage from herring fillets, which are chopped or ground before encasing and smoking. The process is not yet in commercial use.
