§ 17. Major ANSTRUTHER-GRAYasked the Secretary for Scotland whether he will take the necessary steps to secure pensions for long and meritorious service for officers and men of the crews of His Majesty's fishery cruisers in Scottish waters, having in view the nature of the duties assigned to them?
Mr. McKINNON WOODThe matter to which the hon. and gallant Member refers has not been lost sight of, but I am not in a position at present to add to the replies which were given to his questions on the same subject on the 2nd and 17th July last.
§ Major ANSTRUTHER-GRAYCan the right hon. Gentleman give any idea when he will be able to answer this question? I have asked it for at least the last three years.
Mr. McKINNON WOODI have had it in mind for the last two years. The question of money has to be considered, but perhaps we will get over that difficulty soon.
