Mr. LEICESTER HARMSWORTHasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether any of the countries bordering the North Sea have made regulations or enactments regulating or forbidding trawling for herring within their territorial waters; and, if so, will he state the nature of such?
§ Mr. RUNCIMANI have been requested by my right hon. Friend to answer this question. Certain foreign States have regulations prohibiting trawling in their territorial waters, but so far as I am aware no such regulations have been framed specifically with a view to preventing trawling for herring.
