HC Deb 27 July 1910 vol 19 cc2092-3
Mr. DUNCAN MILLAR

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, having regard to the injury done by trawlers to the spawning beds along the coasts of Scotland and England, and in the destruction of immature fish and to the consequent depletion of the fishing grounds along our coasts, he will consider as to approaching the foreign Powers signatories of the North Sea Convention of 1882 with a view to obtaining their assent to the extension of the present limits within which trawling is prohibited?

Mr. McKINNON WOOD

I have nothing to add to the answer of the 11th instant to the hon. Member for Ross and Cromarty.
