HC Deb 02 May 1894 vol 24 c197

Order for Second Beading read.

Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the Bill be now read a second time."—(Mr. Buchanan)

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

said, the Bill contained one clause which was of importance to the fishing industry in the North of Scotland, and the Government were willing to accept it as it stood.

SIR H. MAXWELL (Wigton)

I could not hear what the right hon. Gentleman said.

MR. BUCHANAN (Aberdeenshire, E.)

The Bill embodies a suggestion made before the Select Committee which sat last year on sea fisheries. It was moved by the Chairman of the Fishery Board, and agreed to by the other members of the Board. It enables the Board to borrow money and to spread the repayment over a number of years.

Motion agreed to.

Bill read a second time, and committed for Monday next.
