HC Deb 13 December 1938 vol 342 cc1800-1
61. Major Neven-Spence

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether a decision has yet been reached on the question of the months of the year during which a fishery protection cruiser is to be stationed in Orkney waters?

Mr. Colville

The patrol of Orkney waters is carried out throughout the year by the fishery cruiser "Norna" based on Stromness. It is proposed, in addition, to continue during the present winter the use of the drifter which is at present on duty in the area. The question of future arrangements is still under consideration.
