§ MR. WILLIAMSONasked the Lord Advocate, Whether he will take steps so that the filling up of the vacant Secretaryship of the Fishery Board in Scotland may be delayed until consi- 1703 deration shall have been given to the question; and, whether that Board cannot be made more useful to the general interests of the Fisheries of Scotland?
THE LORD ADVOCATE (Mr. J. B. BALFOUR)I have to say, in answer to the hon. Member, that the appointment to which he refers does not rest with the Government, but with the Fishery Board, to whom the fact of this Question having been put will be duly communicated.
