§ [SECOND READING.]
§ Order of the Day for the Second Reading read.
LORD HAMILTON OF DALZELLMy Lords, I am glad to think I need not detain your Lordships for more than a minute in explaining the object of this Bill. It only contains a single clause, and it gives effect to an arrangement between the Treasury and the Fishery Board for Scotland by which the amount of any fine which may be recoverable for illegal fishing off the coast of Scotland will, after the expenses of the prosecution have been paid, be handed over to the Fishery Board to be dealt with as they may deem fit, subject to the approval of the Secretary for Scotland. I beg to move that the Bill be read a Second Time.
§ Moved, "That the Bill be now read 2a."—(Lord Hamilton of Dalzell.)
§ On Question, Bill read 2a, and committed to a Committee of the Whole House on Monday next.
