§ MR. MURPHY (Dublin, St. Patrick's)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenent of 1709 Ireland whether any Report has been made by the Inspectors of Irish Fisheries on the subject of steam trawling in Ireland; and, if so, whether he will give Members an opportunity of considering it before proceeding further with the Steam Trawling (Ireland) Bill?
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURThe Inspectors of Irish Fisheries do not appear to have made any specific Report on the subject of steam trawling. It is true that they have on occasions made incidental references to it. But these references do not bear on the scope of the Bill now before the House.
