§ 42. Mr. Foulkesasked the Solicitor-General for Scotland how many prosecutions have been brought under the provisions of the Solway Firth Affluents Act 1804 since 1945.
§ The Solicitor-General for ScotlandI regret that the information sought could he provided only at disproportionate cost. However, I can advise the hon. Member that in the past year there have been eight prosecutions under section 9 of the Solway Firth Affluents Act 1804 in Kirkcudbright sheriff court and none in Dumfries or Stranraer jurisdictions, the other areas covered by the Act.
