§ 71. Mr. MILLARasked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he is prepared to introduce legislation for the purpose of simplifying and cheapening the procedure by way of Provisional Order for the constitution of Scottish fishery harbour authorities, and for their acquisition of necessary powers, either by adaptation of the provisions of the Fishery Harbours Act of 1915 to Scotland, or by the adoption of a system based on the procedure followed in the case of the several oyster and mussels fisheries orders issued in Scotland?
Mr. W. ADAMSONI cannot at present give any undertaking as to the introduction of legislation; but the matter has been noted for consideration in my general review of fishing questions.
§ Mr. MILLARWill the right hon. Gentleman take into account the fact that many fishery and harbour authorities are severely handicapped by the present difficulties of obtaining Provisional Orders, and is he aware of the urgent necessity of simplifying the procedure?
