HC Deb 28 March 1905 vol 143 cc1381-2
MR. WEIR

I beg to ask the Lord-Advocate, in view of the fact that, shortly after the assembling of the present Parliament, the then Secretary for Scotland stated, in reply to a memorial from Scottish Members, that in order to purchase an additional Fishery Board cruiser he proposed to save moneys out of funds at his disposal for fishery purposes, have any such funds accumulated; and, if so, to what extent.

*MR. SCOTT DICKSON

Funds were accumulated in the manner indicated by Lord Balfour of Burleigh and a new cruiser, the "Freya," was built and launched last year.
