HC Deb 26 May 1909 vol 5 c1172
Mr. WEIR

asked the Lord Advocate if he will state the name of the new Fishery Board cruiser; whether her trial trip was. satisfactory; and what waters she has been detailed to patrol?

Mr. URE

I have not yet received the information to enable me to answer the question.

Mr. WEIR

Why has the Scottish Fishery Board in Edinburgh failed to furnish the information to the Scottish Office, seeing that this cruiser has been under construction for three years and reported to be complete and at work?

Mr. URE

I have not yet received the information, and would suggest to the hon. Gentleman that he should postpone the question.

Mr. WEIR

Does such a cruiser exists or is it a phantom ship?
