§ SIR ALEXANDER GORDONasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, If he will inform the House of the names of the Members who composed the Committee of the Scotch Fishery Board, whose report was recently laid upon the Table of the House; and, if he will give directions that, according to usual custom, the names of Members of similar Committees may in future be prefixed or appended to their reports, in order that the House may judge what amount of confidence can be placed upon opinions expressed therein?
THE LORD ADVOCATE (Mr. J. B. BALFOUR)said, the explanation was that the Committee consisted of the entire body; but it might be well in future that the names of the Members composing the Committees should be stated in their Reports.
§ SIR ALEXANDER GORDONsaid, that was all he wanted.
