HC Deb 09 March 1920 vol 126 c1107
66. Mr. C. BARRIE

asked the Secretary for Scotland when an announcement may be expected as to the Government's intentions regarding the issue of whaling licences in Shetland?

Mr. MUNRO

Under the existing law, whaling licences can only be terminated by the Fishery Board for a breach of their conditions. Any change in the existing position would, therefore, require legislation. I am considering the propriety of adopting that course, and an announcement of policy will be made as soon as possible.
