HC Deb 05 December 1893 vol 19 c473
MR. BIRKMYRE (Ayr, &c.)

I beg to ask the Secretary for Scotland whether he has received any explanation from the firm which is alleged to have been in the habit of exporting in kegs branded "Loch Fyne herrings" fish presumably caught in the North Sea; and, if not, what steps he proposes to take to have the practice stopped?

THE SECRETARY FOR SCOTLAND (Sir G. TREVELYAN, Glasgow, Bridgeton)

I regret to say that no explanation has been forthcoming from the firm in question, and I have accordingly remitted the matter to the Fishery Board for inquiry, and, if necessary, for action.
