HC Deb 28 April 1898 vol 56 cc1377-8
MR. WEIR

I beg to ask the Lord Advocate if he can state when the annual Report of the Fishery Board for Scotland will be laid upon the Table of the House?

MR. GRAHAM MURRAY

I am informed by the Fishery Board that the final proofs of the Board's Report are in the printer's hands, and will be presented to Parliament shortly.

MR. WEIR

Will the right honourable Gentleman take care that this Report is in the hands of Members before the Fishery Board Vote is brought on?

MR. GRAHAM MURRAY

That rests with the First Lord of the Treasury, but I think I may almost promise the Vote will not be taken until after the Report has been presented.
