HC Deb 07 April 1936 vol 310 c2625W
Mr. M. MacMILLAN

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he will take action to have a commission set up to investigate the conditions in the fishing industry in the Western Isles and to make a public report as to how the industry may be revived and improved?

Sir G. COLLINS

The question of the conditions in the fishing industry in the area mentioned is receiving my attention in connection with other questions relating to the Highlands and Islands, but I am not prepared at present to give any undertaking as to the appointment of such a commission as is suggested in the question.
