HC Deb 06 August 1896 vol 43 c1698
MR. T. R. BUCHANAN (Aberdeen shire, E.)

I beg to ask the Lord Advocate whether any substantial progress has been made since the discussion on 24th April in the efforts instituted by the Secretary for Scotland to bring about an agreement for an extension of the territorial limit for fishery purposes on the North Sea?

* THE LORD ADVOCATE

Communications on the subject are still in progress between the Department: concerned, but an agreement in the direction suggested in the questions of the hon. Member has not yet been arrived at.
