§ MR. R. HARCOURT (Montrose Burghs)To ask the Secretary for Scotland whether he will take the opinion of the Law Officers of the Crown as to whether the Bell Rock is or is not part of British territory; and, if he is advised that the Bell Rock is part of the territory 714 of Great Britain, whether he will consider the advisability of prohibiting trawling under bye-law within three miles of that place.
(Answered by Mr. Sinclair.) I can only refer my hon. friend to my reply on the 15th June as stating the position of the Government.
