HC Deb 20 February 1908 vol 184 c1037
CAPTAIN WARING (Banffshire)

I beg to ask the Secretary for Scotland what, if any, precautions are taken by those responsible for the movements of the fishery cruiser from Aberdeen to prevent the knowledge of intended cruises coming to, or being obtained by, the masters or crews of trawlers.

THE SECRETARY FOR SCOTLAND (Mr. SINCLAIR,) Forfarshire

The commanders of cruisers do not communicate any of their instructions to any of the crew before leaving the harbour, and I am advised that there is no reason to suppose that the instructions issued by the Fishery Board as to the movement of their cruisers are divulged.
