§ 14. Sir J. Duncanasked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he will publish the recent official report by Dr. Bennet Rae on the effect of seals on Scottish salmon and marine fisheries.
§ Mr. LeburnYes, Sir. The report will be sent for publication as soon as the final text has been received from the author.
§ Sir J. DuncanWhile thanking my hon. Friend for that reply, may I ask if he will also make sure that he reads it and takes action to control the enormously increased number of grey seals?
§ Mr. LeburnI will certainly read this report. However, I should not like to commit myself further until I have done so.
