§ 6. Mr. WATTasked the Secretary for Scotland what action he has taken or proposes to take to cause the Fishery Board to intervene in the Glasgow fish market to prevent over-iced boxes of fish being sold, whereby buyers instead of buying fish buy ice; is he aware that this system tells against the small buyer, who is unable to get the same consideration on making a claim; that such claims are sometimes as much as 30 1bs. on 180 1bs.; and will his Department make an Order for labelling each box with the correct weight of fish and for imposing a penalty for breach?
§ Mr. MUNROI would refer my hon. and learned Friend to my reply to his question on the 6th December. If the persons aggrieved will send particulars of their complaints to the Fishery Board 1927 they will be investigated, and the application of any remedies which are found to be required and to be within the Board's powers will be considered.
§ Mr. WATTDoes not the right hon. Gentleman realise that this is a very invidious thing, arid that if an opportunity offers retaliation is sure to follow?
§ Mr. MUNROIt may appear invidious, but it is impossible from the point of view of the Board to take action unless some particulars are furnished.
