HC Deb 20 July 1939 vol 350 cc755-6W
Major Neven-Spence

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what steps have been taken to secure the allocation of an aeroplane for herring spotting in Shetland waters?

Mr. Colville

I have been in communication with my right hon. friend the Secretary of State for Air and am informed that a Royal Air Force flying-boat which left this morning for Zetland to carry out normal training is also being made available to co-operate with the herring fishing fleet in further experiments on the aerial spotting of herring.
