HC Deb 20 November 1968 vol 773 c271W
14. Mr. Dalyell

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what he has done in the last year to further the development of the marine sciences in Great Britain.

Mr. Cledwyn Hughes

The Ministry's marine laboratories have continued their research into fisheries of actual, or potential, importance to our industry. During the year this has included special surveys in the North-West and South Atlantic, and further work has been done in connection with marine pollution, methods of fish detection and the development of fish cultivation.
