§ MR. J. E. GORDON (Elgin and Nairn)asked the Lord Advocate a Question of which he had given him private notice—namely, whether information had been received at the Scottish Office of illegal fishing yesterday, in the protected waters of the Moray Firth; and what steps had been taken with regard to the matter?
§ THE LORD ADVOCATEsaid the Scotch Office had not heard anything of the Report in Question until it was communicated by his hon. Friend that morning. They at once telegraphed to the Fishery Board to take steps to meet the necessity which seemed to have arisen.
