HC Deb 16 March 1910 vol 15 cc480-1W
Mr. NOEL BUXTON

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Agriculture whether the Board of Agriculture and Fisheries will arrange for the more adequate prevention of trawling within the three-mile limit on the English coast?

Sir E. STRACHEY

By-laws for the prohibiting or regulation of trawling within the three mile limit are made, subject to our approval, by the local sea fishery committee, by whom they are enforced. Perhaps my hon. Friend will let me know the circumstances which led him to think that more adequate measures could be taken for the purpose to which he refers.
