§ MR. BLACKI beg to ask the Lord-Advocate whether any progress has been made by the Government, by negotiation with foreign Powers or otherwise, towards the exclusion from the Moray Firth of foreign trawlers or of British-owned trawlers registered in foreign ports.
MR. SCOTT DICKSONNo progress has been made in the way of negotiation with foreign Powers. For the rest I may refer the hon. Member to the judgment delivered by the High Court of Justiciary in the case of Peters v. Olsen on the 20th ultimo.
