HC Deb 21 March 1967 vol 743 cc223-4W
50. Mr. Hector Hughes

asked the Minister of Technology if he will give further details of the method perfected by scientists at Torry Research Station, Aberdeen, of transporting cod, haddock and other fish from the sea to the shopping basket so that they can be bought and sold as wet fish without losing their fresh taste.

Mr. Dell

The Torry Research Station has solved a number of technical problems associated with pre-packaging of wet fish which will allow its introduction on a wide scale. Good practice throughout the chain of distribution is important and the Torry Research Station and the White Fish Authority will be advising the distributors on how this can be achieved.
