§ 77. Mr. F. C. THOMSONasked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that a considerable portion of the fish market of Aberdeen is used by the military authorities as a store for flax; that, in consequence thereof, great inconvenience and loss is being caused to the fishing trade by the lack of available space in the market for landing fish; and that, although authority was given last month for other accommodation to be hired and the flax removed from the fish market, the 1364 flax has not been so removed; and whether he will give orders for its immediate removal?
§ Mr. KELLAWAYI have been asked to answer this question. The answer to the first part of the question is. Yes, Sir. Arrangements are being pushed forward as rapidly as possible for the provision of other premises for the storage of the flax, in order that the shed in the fish market may be vacated.
