§ MR. WEIRTo ask the Lord Advocate whether a date has yet been fixed for the meeting of the International Council at Copenhagen; is he now able to say by whom the Scottish Office will be represented; and whether the question of the extension of the three-mile limit will be brought under the notice of the Council.
(Answer.) No date has yet been fixed for the Copenhagen Fishery Conference. There will be no special representative of the Scottish Office. The hon. Member was informed on the 22nd ult., by the President of the Board of Trade, of the names of the delegates who would represent Great Britain † It is not proposed to instruct the British delegates to raise the question of the three-mile limit.—(Scottish Office.)
