§ 66. Mr. C. BARRIEasked 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. MUNROUnder 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.
