HC Deb 03 March 1911 vol 22 c798W
Mr. NORMAN CRAIG

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Agriculture if he will state upon what statutory provision the Board relied in declining the invitation of the Development Commissioners to nominate a representative upon the advisory committee on fishery matters?

Sir E. STRACHEY

The provisions as to procedure are contained m Section 4 (1) of the Development and Road Improvement Funds Act, 1909.

Mr. NORMAN CRAIG

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Agriculture whether, in view of the conflicting interests of the English and Scottish fishery industries, he will take steps with a view to securing adequate representation of English interests on the advisory committee appointed by the Development Commissioners?

Sir E. STRACHEY

The Board have already been in communication with the Commissioners on this subject, and further representations will be made to them.
