§ MR. WEIRI beg to ask the Lord Advocate, whether the Secretary for Scotland has received copies of four resolutions on the subject of Sea Police and Illegal Trawling, which were moved respectively by Provost Anderson, County Councillor M'Leod, Baillie 298 J. M. Morison, and Donald Mackenzie (Secretary to the Lewis Fishermen's Association), and carried unanimously at a mass meeting of fishermen and others held at the Drill Hall. Stornoway, on the 5th January last; and will he state how the Government propose to meet the requests contained in those resolutions?
MR. GRAHAM MURRAYThe Secretary for Scotland has received copies of the resolutions referred to; the request contained in the first will be met by the new vessels now building for the Fishery Board. That in the second would require legislation, which cannot at present be undertaken.
