Now, it has been proposed by some parts of the trawling industry that something might be done to help those particular trawler owners who are facing Extreme Economic Crisis at the moment because of the fluctuating vicissitudes and rising costs.
The year 1958, which was the year following the Extreme Economic Crisis of 1957, was one of the few years since the war when exports actually fell.
Already at a time of Extreme Economic Crisis, when the fishermen of Aberdeen think that they are going out of business for the loss of £4 million, we plan to spend on a miserable bunch of Assemblies perhaps £100 million, and that does not cover the English assemblies.
There is, of course, a further political issue, which has to do with the return of cash to the public Exchequer at a time of Extreme Economic Crisis, but one still hopes that something of the form of the mutual ethos can be retained in the new organisation when it is ultimately sold.
