§ MR WEIRI beg to ask the Lord Advocate, in view of the fact that the Scottish Fishery Board cruiser "Garland" has been sold, being too small and inefficient for scientific research, will he state what sum she realised; and will he state to what extent the Scottish Fishery Board will participate in the international scientific investigations in the North Sea, and what sum will be allocated to the Board for the purpose.
* MR. A. GRAHAM MURRAYThe "Garland" was sold for £550. The Fishery Board will participate in the international investigations to the extent of receiving one half of the whole amount available and superintend its expenditure.
