Mr. Davidsonasked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he is aware that the Carradale fishing fleet, numbering 23 boats, has no harbour or proper anchorage and in bad weather has to travel 12 or 18 miles from home for safe anchorage; and what action he proposes to take to remedy the position?
§ Mr. ColvilleI am aware that the facilities for the local fishing fleet at Carradale are restricted and that the fishermen land only a small proportion of their catch there. The consideration of any measures for improvement of the facilities is in the first place a matter for the local authority.
