HC Deb 22 July 1918 vol 108 c1437
32. Mr. GULLAND

asked the Secretary for Scotland whether he has now considered if under the Defence of the Realm Acts he has power to extend the Solway salmon fishing for a fortnight; and what steps does he propose to take?

The SECRETARY for SCOTLAND (Mr. Munro)

I am waiting a report from the Fishery Board as to the extension proposed. The question of powers which do not exist at present would be taken up if and when it is decided that action in the direction suggested by my right hon. Friend should be taken.

Mr. GULLAND

Does the right hon. Gentleman hope to have an early reply?

Mr. MUNRO

I do.
