§ MR. J. W. BARCLAY (Forfarshire)asked the Lord Advocate, Whether the Government will consider the expediency of introducing in the Salmon Fisheries Bill (understood to be now in preparation) a provision giving right to the public to fish for trout in rivers and lochs during the netting season?
§ THE LORD ADVOCATE (Mr. J.H.A. MACDONALD) (Edinburgh and St. Andrew's Universities)As I said in answer to a former Question, the Bill is for the purpose of regulating and protecting fisheries, and not for interfering with property.
