§ Mr. WASONasked the Secretary to the Admiralty if application was made to the Admiralty some time ago for the release of two fishing vessels, the "Friendly Girls" and the "Felicia"; and, in view of the approaching fishing season and the private loss to the fishermen, and the public loss to the community, he will order the vessels to be released without further delay?
§ Dr. MACNAMARAI am glad to be able to tell my hon. Friend that orders were given on 3rd February for the drifter "Felicia"to be discharged as soon as this could be carried out. I regret, however, that the services of the other vessel referred to are still required, but she will be released as soon as possible.
