HC Deb 04 May 1937 vol 323 cc957-8
63. Mr. Boothby

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he proposes to introduce legislation this Session in order to give increased powers to the Herring Industry Board?

Mr. Elliot

I regret that I am not in a position to add anything to the reply which I gave to the question on this subject addressed to me by my hon Friend on 20th April.

Mr. Boothby

Whether the Minister is going to introduce this legislation or not, can he at a later stage let us have a copy of the report of the Herring Board which asked for these powers?

Mr. Elliot

The report is of a confidential nature, but I will look into it.
