MR. J. McLEOD (Sutherland)I beg to ask the Lord Advocate whether the Admiralty has yet made any reply to the representations received from the Scottish Office and the Fishery Board for Scotland as to the necessity for further assistance in policeing the Scottish inshore waters against the depredations of trawlers acting in defiance of the law?
§ * THE LORD ADVOCATE (Mr. GRAHAM MURRAY,) ButeshireA reply from the Admiralty has been received, and the matter is still under consideration of the Departments concerned. As the hon. Member is aware, many considerations must be taken into account before a definite decision can be arrived at.
