HC Deb 28 February 1940 vol 357 cc2095-6W
Mr. Sloan

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he is aware that some of the fishing boats requisitioned from the Ayrshire fishing fleet are not being used for the purpose for which they were requisitioned; and whether he will investigate the matter, with a view to having these boats returned to allow of them being used for food production?

Mr. Shakespeare

All the vessels now in naval service which were requisitioned from the Ayrshire fishing fleet are fully employed on naval duties.
