§ MR. WEIRI beg to ask the Lord Advocate whether he is now in a position to state when the new cruiser for the Scottish Fishery Board will be ready for service; and, if not, will he say if tenders have yet been invited.
§ * MR. A. GRAHAM MURRAYThe question of a new cruiser for the superintendence of the fisheries is receiving the earnest attention of the Fishery Board, and no time whatever is being lost in carrying out the necessary negotiations. I may add that the Secretary for Scotland cannot undertake to give further information at present.
