§ MR. MARJORIBANKS (Berwickshire)I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether he can state in what manner it is the intention of the Government to give effect to the Resolution recently passed by the House with regard to Scottish sea fisheries; and whether the Government will consent to allow the Sea Fisheries Regulation (Scotland) Bill to be read a second time, and then to be referred to a Select Committee?
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURI understand it is the intention of my noble Friend the Secretary for Scotland to bring forward a proposal in the House of Lords to carry out the Resolution of this House with regard to Scottish sea fisheries. Perhaps the right hon. Gentleman will find it convenient to await that proposal before he proceeds with the Bill mentioned in the final paragraph of his question.
§ MR. T. M. HEALYWhen the Bill comes down here I shall oppose it, or any Bill of the kind, unless the same powers are applied to Ireland in accordance with the undertaking to abolish Irish trawling as well as to abolish Scotch trawling.
