§ MR. FLYNN (Cork, N.)To ask the Secretary for Scotland whether he can state the period of the year prior to which the Scotch Fishery Board prohibits fishing for herrings in the Scotch fishing grounds.
THE LORD-ADVOCATE (Mr. SCOTT DICKSON, Glasgow, Bridgton)No prohibition of herring fishing by the authority of the Fishery Board exists in Scotland, but for local statutory regulations I may refer the hon. Member to 52 and 53 Vict. cap. 23, Section 5, which relates to that section of the coast extending from Ardnamurchan Point to the Mull of Galloway.
