§ SIR G. CAMPBELLI beg to ask the hon. Member for Wigtonshire, in the absence of the Lord Advocate, why the terms of Reference to the Commission on the Scotch Salmon Fisheries have been omitted from their Report?
§ SIR H. MAXWELLThe terms of reference appear to have been omitted by an error of the printers—an error overlooked by me in correcting the proofs. They were as follow:—
The Committee to inquire into the exercise of the Crown rights in the salmon fisheries of Scotland, on the coasts, and the seas adjacent thereto, and their effect on the preservation and supply of fish.
§ SIR G. CAMPBELLCan we have that in print? And I should like to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether the Lord Advocate is absent on public duty or through indisposition——
§ * MR. SPEAKEROrder, order!
§ SIR H. MAXWELLMy right hon. and learned Friend is sitting on a Committee, in which hon. Members for Scot-land are interested.
