§ 16. Mr. Woodburnasked the First Lord of the Admiralty what were his reasons for requisitioning the fishing boats of Loch Fyne in the midst of their fishing season; and what steps he is taking to prevent ruin falling upon the fishermen in that area from the loss of the boats in which their life's savings have been invested?
§ The First Lord of the Admiralty (Mr. Churchill)I would refer the hon. Member to the reply which my hon. Friend the Parliamentary Secretary gave to the hon. Member for Maryhill (Mr. J. J. Davidson) yesterday. Only one Loch Fyne boat has so far been requisitioned. Full compensation will be paid.
