§ 42. Mr. Robert Gibsonasked the Minister of Agriculture whether he has considered the report of Mr. Sam Reid, Greenock, and Mr. G. W. B. Leslie, Sum-burgh, to the Herring Board, relative to spotting herring from the air; whether he has any statement to make on the success attending such spotting in relation to increased efficiency of the herring fishing industry; and whether he has reached a decision regarding the provision of a wireless-equipped aeroplane for this work?
§ Sir R. Dorman-SmithI have not seen the report to which the hon. Member refers, but I am making inquiry of the Herring Industry Board on the subject, and also in regard to the last part of the question.
§ Mr. GibsonIs the last part of the answer a reference only to the right hon. Gentleman's Department?
§ Sir R. Dorman-SmithI am making the appropriate inquiries from the Herring Industry Board itself.
