HC Deb 02 March 1885 vol 294 c1770
MR. BIRKBECK

asked the Under Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether it is the intention of the Government to recommend the formation of a Fishery Board for England similar to the Scotch and Irish Boards, and to which all questions relative to the great fishing industries will be referred?

MR. H. H. FOWLER

The Question asked is a very important one; and, although it is under his consideration, the Secretary of State is unable to give a definite reply in regard to it until he has seen and considered the recommendations of the Report of the Royal Commission on Trawling, which is expected in a few days.
