§ SIR JOHN TUKE (Edinburgh and St. Andrews' Universities)To ask the President of the Board of Trade whether he will publish the Reports of the British delegates sent to the Stockholm and Christiania Conference on North Sea Fishery Investigations, and the correspondence bearing on these Reports between His Majesty's Government and the various Continental Governments concerned; if he can state the cost of the investigations which are to be undertaken, and the proportion which will be borne by the several Governments.
(Answer.) I will consider whether any of the Reports referred to can properly be published, and I will communicate with the hon. Member on the subject. The amount proposed to be expended in three years by Great Britain on fishery investigations, including the share of the cost of the central bureau, is £42,000, but I have no information as to the amount proposed to be expended by other countries.—(Board of Trade.)
