HC Deb 23 July 1907 vol 178 cc1331-2
MR. WEIR

To ask the Secretary for Scotland if he will state whether any members of the Fishery Board for Scot- land are shareholders or directors of trawling companies.

(Answered by Mr. Sinclair.) I am not aware. But no doubt it is possibly so. For the Sea Fisheries Regulation (Scotland) Act, 1895, under which they are appointed, expressly provides, Section 4 (1), that they shall be representative of the various sea fishing interests of Scotland.
