asked the Minister for Lands whether, further to a reply of 28th March with regard to future development of oyster fisheries, any planned estimate is made by his Department of the value of oysters to be produced, and the value of oysters to be exported for each of the next ten years.

My Department is not in a position to estimate future production or exports of oysters but hopes that, with the official advice and encouragement provided, the marked upward trend in recent years will continue.
Referring to my reply of 28th March (column 699) perhaps I might mention that the value of landings of oysters in 1962 should read £22,360.
