§ MR. R. L. HARMSWORTH: (Caithnessshire)I beg to ask the Secretary for 70 Scotland if he has received a report that, on 18th April last, eleven trawlers were observed fishing within the three-mile limit by Latheronwheel, Caithness; and, if so, what he proposes to do to prevent a recurrence of this illegality.
§ THE SECRETARY FOR SCOTLAND (Mr. SINCLAIR, Forfarshire)I have made inquiries and learn that one of the fishery cruisers was at the time referred to in the vicinity and observing the movements of the trawlers, but the commander failed to detect any of them within the three-mile limit.
