asked when the Report of the Departmental Committee which is considering, inter alia, the question of State loans to fishermen is likely to be forthcoming?

I am not in a position as yet to indicate a date for the publication of this Report, which, as my hon. and gallant Friend is aware, will deal with many other questions besides that of State loans.

Will special attention be given to the question of providing motor engines for their boats to fishermen who have already boats of their own?

I cannot anticipate the Report.

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that the delay in issuing this Report has caused great dissatisfaction and disappointment in fishing centres in Scotland?
