HC Deb 30 June 1899 vol 73 c1146
MR. WEIR

I beg to ask the Lord Advocate if he will state the number of days' leave of absence granted to the crew of each of the Scottish Fishery Board cruisers during the year 1898.

MR. A. GRAHAM MURRAY

I am informed that the granting of leave to the crews of the Fishery Board cruisers is left to the discretion of the commanders and that the Scottish Office receives no reports on the subject.

MR. WEIR

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that he gave a like answer to a similar question some time ago? I want to know the number of days these men are allowed for a holiday.

MR. A. GRAHAM MURRAY

I do not know. It is a matter in the discretion of the commanding officer.

MR. WEIR

I hope the right hon. Gentleman will find out and furnish me with the information.
