67. Mr. W. H. K. Bakerasked the President of the Board of Trade if in future he will arrange for fresh, frozen and cured fish imports to be shown as landed weights in the Trade and Navigation Accounts rather than as at present in product weight terms.
§ Mr. DellI am satisfied that the present method of recording net weights, for fish as for other imports, is the most appropriate to the Trade Accounts. The Sea Fisheries Statistical Tables published by my right hon. Friend the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food do however include some estimates of annual imports on the other basis.
