HC Deb 19 July 1888 vol 328 c1758
MR. D. CRAWFORD (Lanark, N.E.)

asked the Lord Advocate, If he can say when the Report of the Fishery Board will be delivered; and, whether he can undertake that it will be in the hands of Members for a reasonable time before the Vote for the Board is taken?

THE LORD ADVOCATE (Mr. J. H. A. MACDONALD) (Edinburgh and St. Andrews' Universities)

I am informed that Parts 1 and 2 of the Fishery Board Report were ready for delivery yesterday, and I hope by this time are in the hands of hon. Members. Part 3, which deals with scientific investigations, will be ready in a few days. I hope, therefore, that the whole Report may be in the hands of hon. Members before the Vote is taken.
