§ MR. WASON (Ayrshire, S.)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty whether, having regard to the fact that beam trawlers were working within the prescribed limits off Ballantrae Bank on Friday, the 21st instant, and Monday, the 24th instant, and that great damage was caused to the lines of the coast fishermen on both those occasions, he will order a cruiser to be stationed between Loch Ryan and Campbeltown, to see that the orders and bye-laws of the Fishery Board are enforced?
§ MR. E. ROBERTSONThe Admiralty would not think it proper to send a vessel within the jurisdiction of the Scotch Fishery Board, whose duty it would be to deal with the case supported by my hon. Friend. As it appears, on inquiry, that the cutter Daisy is about to be repaired, another vessel of the same class can be sent to take her place if required.
