HC Deb 02 July 1913 vol 54 cc1869-70
51. Captain WARING

asked the Secretary for Scotland whether the Report of the Committee which is considering the question of loans to fishermen is now complete; what is the cause of the delay in issuing the Report; and can he hold out any hope that it will be in the hands of Members before the end of the present Session?

Mr. McKINNON WOOD

I would refer my hon. and gallant Friend to the answers which I gave on this subject to my hon. and learned Friend the Member for Wick Burghs on 10th June, and to my hon. Friend the Member for Sutherland on 17th June.

Mr. WATT

Will the right hon. Gentleman see that Scottish fishermen are put in the same position as Irish fishermen?
