HC Deb 22 September 1931 vol 256 c1463
25. Mr. MACPHERSON

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he has any statement to make in connection with trawling by foreign vessels in the Moray Firth?

Sir A. SINCLAIR

No, Sir, but I 'am fully alive to the importance of this matter, and it is engaging my earnest attention.

Mr. MACPHERSON

May I ask my right hon. Friend whether he has any report under his consideration, actively or otherwise, and whether he is aware that depredations by foreign trawlers continue to the detriment of our own fishermen?

Sir A. SINCLAIR

Yes; I have another question on that particular point.

Mr. WESTWOOD

Will the right hon. Gentleman ask the Home Secretary to prepare a new coat of arms for the new Secretary of State for Scotland?

Mr. McSHANE

Are we to understand that in this Department particularly there is to be continuity of policy?

Forward to
