asked the Minister of Agriculture (i) Whether he can make any statement regarding the application of monthly quotas for the importation of fish; and, if not, whether he hopes that any statement may shortly be possible; (2) whether he is investigating the problem caused by the landing of foreign fish in filleted form; and whether he can yet make any statement?

I am investigating the questions of monthly quotas and of imported fillets in consultation with the Board of Trade. I am not yet in a position to make a definite statement, but I hope to be able to do so in the near future.
