I bog to ask the Secretary for Scotland whether the Government propose to remove the cruiser from watching the trawlers in the North of Scotland?

No, Sir.

Is any cruiser to be withdrawn from fishery duties?

The "Ringdove" is the only vessel employed at present.

Did not the right hon. Gentleman give the House to understand yesterday that the vessel was to be withdrawn?

I am sorry if I gave an erroneous impression.
