§ 32. Mr. BARCLAY-HARVEYasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he is aware that illegal trawling is taking place off the coast of Kincardineshire; and what steps he proposes to take to stop it?
§ The SECRETARY of STATE for SCOTLAND (Major Sir Archibald Sinclair)Since the beginning of this year, only one complaint of illegal trawling off the Kincardineshire coast has been received by the Fishery Board for Scotland and on investigation the evidence produced was 656 found to be inconclusive. The Board's cruisers have, however, been instructed to keep the area under observation.
§ Mr. BARCLAY-HARVEYWill the Secretary of State consider the co-operation of the Air Force in this matter?
§ Sir A. SINCLAIRI will bear that in mind.
