§ MR. WEIRI beg to ask the Lord Advocate whether, seeing that the sum of £15,000 per annum had been allocated to the Fishery Board for Scotland under the Local Taxation (Scotland) Act of last session, for the purpose of providing and maintaining vessels for marine superin 482 tendence, and otherwise for the enforcement of the Scottish Sea Fishery laws, will the Secretary for Scotland state whether the Board proposes to secure another cruiser so that there may be a more efficient police patrol of the fishing beds off the islands of Lewis, Skye, and Barra.
§ MR. A. G. MURRAYI am informed by the Fishery Board that they propose to obtain another cruiser, and she will, when obtained, take such part of the service as may be allotted to her.
