HC Deb 05 February 1929 vol 224 c1566
20. Major Sir ARCHIBALD SINCLAIR

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether, having regard to the fact that share fishermen are in a substantially different position from ordinary employed persons, he can see his way to include among the exemptions allowed in paragraph 2 of the Share Fishermen Order, 1928, share fishermen over 65 years of age?

The SECRETARY of STATE for SCOTLAND (Sir John Gilmour)

The matter referred to in the question is being sympathetiacally considered, with a view to seeing what action, if any, can be taken to meet the position.

Sir A. SINCLAIR

When will consideration be given to this matter? If I put down a question on Tuesday next, may I expect an answer?

Sir J. GILMOUR

I am not quite certain, but I will see if an answer can be given then.
