§ MR. BUCHANAN (Aberdeenshire, E.)I beg to ask the Lord Advocate whether, in view of the recent wholesale migration of fishermen, particularly on the Aberdeenshire coast, the Government will take steps, by facilitating the system of harbour construction, by developing light railways, and by a stricter enforcement of the fishery laws and regulations, to restrain this continuous depletion of the country population.
§ THE LORD ADVOCATE (Mr. A. GRAHAM MURRAY,) ButeshireEach of the three suggestions which the hon. Member makes has already engaged the attention of the Government, and to each some practical effect has already been given. But the Government are not prepared in answer to such a question as this to assume obligations of a wholly indefinite and unlimited nature.
