§ Mr. MACQUISTENasked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he is aware that the fishermen of Campbeltown, Carradale, Tarbert, Loch Fyne, Ardrishaig, Minard, Arran, Bute, and Ayrshire strongly disapprove of by-law No. 42 promulgated by the Fishery Board, whereby these fishermen, as well as fishermen from many East Coast ports who are also hostile to the said by-law, will be excluded from fishing grounds over which they have exercised their calling from remote times; and whether, as this proposed by-law will not only be injurious to these fishing communities but also to the public interest, he will refuse to confirm it?
§ Mr. SKELTONI would refer the hon. and learned Member to the reply given to the hon. Member for East Fife (Mr. H. Stewart) on this subject on 6th854W November. The representations made by the Clyde fishermen will be considered along with the other representations in due course.
