asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce if he will state, for each of the years 1944, 1945 and 1946, the quantity of (a) salmon, (b) sea-trout, and (c) eels exported; and the value of the exports in each case.
Written Answers. - Fish Exports.
Mr. Corish
Separate figures for exports of (a) salmon and (b) sea-trout are not available as the two groups are included under the heading "salmon and trout" in the export list. Separate figures are available for fresh-water eels only. Accordingly the quantities and values of the exports of (a) salmon and trout, and (b) fresh water eels are as follows:—
