HC Deb 28 February 1896 vol 37 cc1388-9
MR. THOMAS SHAW (Hawick Burghs)

I beg to ask the Lord Advocate what progress the Tweed and Solway Fishery Commission has made with its labours; and when its Report is expected?

THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF TRADE (Mr. C. T. RITCHIE,) Croydon

I understand that the Tweed Report is practically complete, and that the Solway Report is expected to be ready shortly.

MR. SHAW

inquired whether it would be possible to issue an interim report so far as concerned these particulars?

MR. RITCHIE

Usually when a Commission desire to have an interim Report they make one. They do not do so when they do not require one.
