HC Deb 07 August 1900 vol 87 c930
SIR J. COLOMB (Great Yarmouth)

On behalf of the hon. Member for Suffolk, Lowestoft Division, I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade why the evidence taken by the Select Committee on the Sea Fisheries Bill has not been circulated with the Report, seeing that the evidence was completed nearly a month ago, and was printed and circulated amongst the members of the Committee from day to day.

The PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF TRADE (Mr. Ritchie,) Croydon

I have no doubt that the evidence will be circulated in due course. I have no control over the printing, of course, but I am told there has been no unusual delay. After the evidence is completed it has to be indexed.
