§ MR. WATTI beg to ask the Secretary for Scotland if he is aware that the dredgings from the Upper Forth are emptied between Aberdour and Granton, causing destruction to the fish in that neighbourhood and loss to the fishermen; if he is aware that the Clyde dredgings have to be carried three miles beyond Cumbrae Head, a distance in all of fully twenty miles;and if he will see that this difference of treatment between east and west is remedied, and the Forth dredgings carried to the open sea.
§ MR. SINCLAIRNo information has reached me on the subject referred to by my hon. friend, and I am informed that no complaints have been received by the Fishery Board as to destruction of fish or loss by fishermen. If specific information is furnished it shall be investigated.
