HC Deb 22 April 1902 vol 106 cc936-7
MR. WEIR

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether a date has yet been fixed for the meeting of the International Council at Copenhagen; will he state by whom the Board of Trade and Scottish Office will be represented, and whether any efforts will be made to induce the representatives of the various Powers to agree to waters, such as the Moray Firth, being closed against all trawlers, foreign as well as British.

MR. GERALD BALFOUR

No date has yet been fixed. Either his Majesty's Minister at Copenhagen or Sir Colin Scott-Moncrieff, together with Professor D'Arcy Thompson and Mr. Walter Garstang, will represent Croat Britain. The subject referred to in the last paragraph of the Question will no doubt be raised at the Conference.
