§ Mr. Wolrige-Gordonasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what he estimates will be the effect on the fishing industry in Orkney and Shetland, compared with the rest of Scotland, of the recent rise in railway freight charges for fish.
§ Mr. RossI understand that as a consequence of the decisions of British Railways new arrangements for the distribution of fish to the various markets have been introduced in some places and are still under discussion in others. I cannot predict the outcome nor, if I could, would I have the detailed information required to make a meaningful estimate on the lines suggested by the hon. Member.
