'(4) At the end of section 10 of the Sea Fisheries (Scotland) Amendment Act 1885 (powers of sea fishery officers) there are added the words "and section 10 of that Act shall apply for the purposes of this Act as if for any reference to section 8 or 9 of that Act there were substituted a reference to this section

§ The amendment ensures that the British sea fishery officers engaged in enforcement of byelaws made under Section 4 of the 1885 Act are afforded the same protections as the existing law affords them while they are engaged in enforcement of legislation dealing with illegal trawling and prohibition orders made under the Sea Fish (Convention) Act 1967 and the Sea Fisheries Act 1968.
912§ Amendment agreed to.
§ Clause 4, as amended, ordered to stand part of the Bill.
§ Clauses 5 and 6 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
