§ MR. HARWOOD (Bolton)I beg to ask the Secretary for Scotland whether he will consider the advisability of altering the bye-laws and regulations of the Scottish Fishery Hoard which prevent British vessels from going to some of the best trawling grounds, whilst leaving them open to foreign trawlers so long as they keep outside the three-mile limit.
§ THE SECRETARY FOR SCOTLAND (Mr. SINCLAIR, Forfarshire)The policy of the Government on this matter was stated by the Prime Minister in reply to a Question by the hon. Member for Great Grimsby on 4th November, and I have nothing further to add.
§ MR. WATTWhile the Question is pending cannot the right hon. Gentleman 472 see his way to placing Britishers on the same footing as foreigners?
