HC Deb 07 February 1895 vol 30 cc204-5
SIR A. K. ROLLIT (Islington, S.)

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether the recommendations in the Report of the Sea Fisheries committee will be sought to be embodied in legislation this Session; and, whether with the same object, Conventions are being negociated with other Maritime Powers.

MR. BRYCE

I propose very shortly to introduce a Bill for the purpose of carrying out the recommendations of the Committee with respect to Undersized Fish. It is no doubt desirable that there should be an International agreement on this subject, but as my hon. Friend knows, the negotiation of such agreements is attended with much difficulty, and he will hardly expect me to say more than that I am carefully considering the matter.
