HC Deb 30 April 1907 vol 173 c708

MR. STANLEY WILSON

I beg to ask the Secretary for Scotland how many foreign trawlers other than Norwegian, recently reported to have been seen trawling in the Moray Firth, have been examined by the Scottish authorities; and whether any English fishermen have been found on board.

THE SECRETARY FOR SCOTLAND (Mr. SINCLAIR,) Forfarshire

Only one foreign trawler, other than Norwegian, has been observed during the last fortnight, and no English fishermen were reported to be on board.
