§ 60. Mr. BOOTHBYasked the Secretary of State for Scotland when the recommendations of the Herring Board regarding the replacement of obsolete craft will be published?
§ Sir G. COLLINSI am informed by the Herring Industry Board that they are preparing a scheme of loans for the reconditioning of herring drifters and a scheme for the purchase by the board of a certain number of old drifters. Particulars of these schemes will, they hope, be published at the end of this week. The board propose to defer the question of loans for new vessels until they have ascertained the result of the re-conditioning scheme.
§ Mr. LOFTUSWill this be a voluntary scheme?
§ Sir G. COLLINSI would ask the hon. Member to await publication of the scheme by the Herring Fishery Board this week.
