HC Deb 27 February 1905 vol 141 c1321
MR. WEIR

I beg to ask the Lord-Advocate whether it has yet been found possible to secure a reduction in the through rates charged for the carriage of fish from the North of Scotland to the southern markets.

MR. SCOTT DICKSON

The answer to the hon. Member's Question is in the negative. The Secretary for Scotland would be glad to see a reduction in the cost of the carriage of fish, but the North of Scotland does not labour under any peculiar disadvantage in this matter.
