§ Mr. Henderson Stewartasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he is aware of the widespread demand for the prohibition of Sunday fishing in Scottish waters; what representations he has received in the matter: and what action he is taking.
§ Mr. WestwoodI have received from the Federation of Scottish Herring and White Fish Catchers representations requesting me to make a bye-law prohibiting all fishing for herring in Scottish waters from between one hour before sunrise on Saturday to one hour after sunset on Monday. I have no power to make such a bye-law and I can hold out no prospect of legislation on the matter.
