asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will make a statement upon his official tour of Australia and New Zealand with regard to the fishing industry.

The programme for my visit to Australia and New Zealand did not include any significant aspects of their fishing industries. I did, however, take the opportunity of looking over a fish-processing establishment at Timaru in New Zealand, and of having one or two informal discussions on fisheries with some of the leaders concerned.
