PETITION (BRITISH FISHERMEN).

HC Deb 20 April 1909 vol 3 c1377

Sir GEORGE DOUGHTY

I wish to present a petition, the prayer of which is as follows:—"We, the undersigned, being British fishermen, employed in the deep sea trawling and fishing industry"—

Mr. SPEAKER

The hon. Gentleman is not entitled to read the petition. All he may do at the present stage is to summarise the prayer.

Sir G. DOUGHTY

It is from the fishermen of Great Britain, who wish to call the attention of the House to the injustice done to them by being excluded from fishing in the Moray Firth.

Mr. SPEAKER

Will the hon. Baronet bring the same to the Table.
