HC Deb 21 March 1899 vol 68 c1571
MR. WEIR

I beg to ask the Lord Advocate if the Secretary for Scotland, in selecting a new commander for the Fishery Board cruiser "Brenda," will consider the desirability of giving preference to officers possessing an intimate knowledge of the northern coast of Scotland?

MR. GRAHAM MURRAY

In the event of any vacancies occurring amongst the officers commanding their cruisers, the Fishery Board will no doubt carefully consider the qualifications of those selected to take their places.
