HC Deb 17 April 1930 vol 237 cc3090-1
77. Captain BOURNE

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he can make any statement on the present position of the investigations undertaken by the Fishery Board for Scotland on the life history of the sea trout?

The SECRETARY of STATE for SCOTLAND (Mr. William Adamson)

The investigations are proceeding, and a number of papers have been published in the Fishery Boards Salmon Fishery series, reporting results obtained. I should like to take the opportunity afforded by this question of acknowledging the very valuable voluntary assist- ance in this matter of Mr. G. H. Nale, who is giving freely of his time and money in furthering these investigations.
