I presume the Deputy refers to the three high-sea fishing vessels recently purchased by the board. One of these vessels sustained damage on the way from Germany andthe cost of repairing the damage will amount to about £900. The value of landings of fish made by the other two vessels up to the 2nd February, 1953, was £2,898.
