asked the President of the Board of Trade whether, in the discussions arising out of the Anglo-Polish trade agreement, His Majesty's Government will make every effort to secure a resumption of the export of cured herring from this country to Poland.

The export of cured herrings to Poland has been resumed. Further, an opportunity was taken during the Anglo-Polish trade talks to stress the importance we attach to this traditional export and the Herring Industry Board are being put into touch with the appropriate Polish authorities.
