HC Deb 09 February 1893 vol 8 c903
MR. KEAY

I beg to ask the Secretary for Scotland whether he is aware that a trawl boat marked H 93 has recently been seen trawling four miles off the coast of Lobster within the prohibited area; and whether steps can be taken to secure that the sea police exercise proper vigilance in excluding trawlers from the prohibited waters?

SIR G. TREVELYAN

We have as yet had no information as regards the trawler H 93 alluded to by the hon. Member. H. M. S. Watchful was patrolling in these waters up to January 23rd, when she proceeded southward to be overhauled, and was temporarily relieved by H.M.S. Firm.
