Mr. CATHCART WASONasked the Secretary for Scotland whether, in view of the inadequacy of the punishment inflicted on trawlers found guilty of destroying the fishing grounds of Scottish fishermen, and the fact that the trawling companies suffer no punishment, he will consider the desirability of amending the law so as to get the person actually owning the offending trawler before the Courts?
Mr. McKINNON WOODThe whole question is under consideration, but I would not be justified in promising legislation this Session.
