§ Mr. Kimballasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will draw the attention of district fishery boards to their powers to search boats at sea in their board areas for salmon, nets or any basket, pockets or other receptacles capable of carrying fish, as a means of ensuring the proper conservation of salmon stocks and as an active deterrent against illegal drift netting.
§ Mr. Hugh D. BrownAs a result of recent discussions between the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries for Scotland and the Association of District Salmon Fishery Boards the boards should be fully aware of their powers in these respects.
