HC Deb 07 March 1905 vol 142 c579
MR. WEIR

I beg to ask the Lord-Advocate whether the Congested Districts Board will consider the expediency of making loans to fishermen in congested districts for the purchase of boats and gear.

*MR. SCOTT DICKSON

The question of making loans to fishermen has engaged the attention of the Secretary for Scotland, but he can come to no decision on the matter pending the Report of the Committee of Inquiry recently appointed by his predecessor.
