HC Deb 21 March 1898 vol 55 c397
MR. T. R. BUCHANAN (Aberdeenshire, E.)

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether fishing boats are to pay fees for registration and other purposes under Section 3 of the Merchant Shipping (Mercantile Marine Fund) Bill?

THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF TRADE

It is not intended that the fees mentioned in Clause 3 and in the First Schedule of the Bill should be payable in respect of the registration of fishing boats as such. I will take care that this point is made clear in the Bill.
