HC Deb 26 October 1911 vol 30 c294
Sir C. KINLOCH-COOKE

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether his attention has been called to the damage caused by French fishing vessels to our own fishermen's gear in the English Channel; and whether he will take steps to see that the area from Berryhead to the Lizard is specially patrolled during the months of September, October, and November in order that the rights of British fishermen may be sufficiently protected?

The PRESIDENT of the BOARD of TRADE (Mr. Buxton)
