HC Deb 13 November 1928 vol 222 c680
30. Sir ROBERT HAMILTON

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether the Fishery Board for Scotland have pursued, during the summer months, their investigations into the increase in the number of grey seals around the coast and the extent to which they are responsible for damage to salmon and sea trout?

Sir J. GILMOUR

The Fishery Board have been pursuing investigations, and an inspection of the outlying breeding grounds has recently been completed. A report to the Fishery Board on the subject is in course of preparation.

Mr. MACLEAN

Is there sufficient accommodation for the grey seals?
