§ MR. J. W. CROMBIE (Kincardineshire)I beg to ask the Lord Advocate whether there is any fund at the disposal of the Scottish Fishery Board, from which they can advance money on loan to fishermen to meet the case of loss of nets and fishing gear owing to stress of weather or to an unusually heavy catch of fish, such as occurred recently to the crew of a Johnshaven boat?
§ * THE LORD ADVOCATEIn reply to this question I have to inform the hon. Member that there is no fund at the disposal of the Scottish Fishery Board for the purpose referred to.
