§ MR. WEIRI beg to ask the Lord-Advocate if he will state whether, in view of the continued evasion of Fishery Board by-laws by British-owned trawlers sailing under a foreign flag, the Secretary for Scotland has yet come to a decision with other Government Departments in regard to the recommendation of the Fishery Board that all ports of the United Kingdom should be closed against the landing of fish caught by trawlers in the Moray Firth.
THE LORD-ADVOCATE (Mr. SCOTT DICKSON, Glasgow, Bridgton)After communication with other Departments concerned, the Secretary for Scotland is satisfied that legislation in the sense referred to is not at present practicable.
