HC Deb 08 March 1901 vol 90 c1030
MR. CATHCART WASON (Orkney and Shetland)

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty if there are any objections to coast guardmen reporting illegal trawling to the nearest fishery officer.

THE CIVIL LORD OF THE ADMIRALTY (Mr. PRETYMAN,) Suffolk, Woodbridge

The coastguards are directed by their instructions to report to the nearest fishery officer any breach of the Fishery Laws which may come under their notice in the ordinary course of their duty.
