§ 50. Lieut.-Colonel Lancasterasked the Minister of Agriculture if his attention has been drawn to the move initiated by the Lewis (Hebrides) District Council to secure a change in fishing limits on the West Scottish coast; and if he has approved of the change.
§ The Secretary of State for Scotland (Mr. T. Johnston)I have been asked to reply. As already announced, the special problems of the white fish industry in Scotland, including the problems of the inshore fishermen are at present being investigated by a Committee, of which the hon. and gallant Member for Orkney and Shetland (Major Neven-Spence) is chairman. Pending the receipt of the Committee's report, I have not asked my colleagues to consider the representations referred to.
