HC Deb 04 March 1892 vol 2 c47
MR. MUNRO FERGUSON

I beg to ask the Lord Advocate if he can state what is the nature of the addition which has recently been made to the Marine police intended to check trawling within Scottish waters?

SIR C. J. PEARSON

In answer to the hon. Member's question, I have to state that an additional gunboat has been placed at the disposal of the Fishery Board for the prevention of trawling in the closed waters.

MR. MARJORIBANKS

On that question, may I ask the Lord Advocate whether he can tell us the name of the gunboat and what is her speed?

SIR C.J. PEARSON

No, Sir. I must ask for notice of that question.

MR. MARJORIBANKS

Then I give notice.
