HC Deb 12 May 1904 vol 134 c1172
MR. WEIR

I beg to ask the Secretary for Scotland if he will state what quantity of fish, caught by the Fishery Board's scientific research boat "Goldseeker," was sold during the month of April, the names of the places where the sales were effected, the money realised, and how accounted for.

MR. SCOTT DICKSON

About 156 boxes of fish caught by the "Goldseeker" were sold during the month of April, three of the sales were effected at Aberdeen and two at Newhaven; the money realised amounted to £102 13s. 5d., and this amount was deposited in the Bank of Scotland and will be accounted for to the Treasury. I may add that the quantity caught in April was quite exceptional.
