HC Deb 04 March 1908 vol 185 c682
MR. WATT

I beg to ask the Secretary for Scotland whether the net known as the seine trawl is used by any herring fishermen in Scotland, except those in the Firth of Clyde; and, if so, will he say in what ports it is used.

MR. SINCLAIR

The seine net for the capture of herrings is used only in the Firth of Clyde; and its use is not confined to any particular ports there.

MR. WATT

Why are they not used in other ports. Is it because they damage the herrings?

MR. SINCLAIR

asked for notice.
