HC Deb 02 September 1886 vol 308 cc1071-2
MR. MACDONALD CAMERON (Wick, &c.)

asked the Secretary for Scotland, Whether it is true that the Scotch fishery officers memorialized the Fishery Board for an increase of pay and travelling allowances, in consequence of greatly increased duties; and, if so, whether the Board refused to entertain the said Memorial: whether, in addition, a deputation of fishery officers was received by the Board, and a promise given them that their grievances would receive early attention; and, whether the Fishery Board have taken any steps for the amelioration of the condition of the officers?

THE SECRETARY (Mr. A. J. BALFOUR) (Manchester, E.)

, in reply, said, he had inquired into this matter, but had not yet received an answer. If the hon. Gentleman would put down the Question for a subsequent day he should be glad to answer it.
