HC Deb 08 July 1902 vol 110 c1077
MR. WEIR

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether a date has yet been fixed for the Copenhagen Fishery Conference; and, seeing that there is to be no special representative of the Scottish Office, will he state by whom Great Britain will be represented.

THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF TRADE (Mr. GERALD BALFOUK,) Leeds, Central

The meeting of the International Fishery Conference at Copenhagen has been fixed to take place on 22nd July. Sir Colin Scott Moncrieff, and Professor D'Arcy Thompson, scientific member of the Fishery Board for Scotland, have been appointed British delegates, and they will be accompanied by Dr. H. R. Mill arid Mr. W. Garstang of the Marine Biological Association at Plymouth, as experts. These gentlemen were present at the Christiania Conference in 1901.
