asked the Secretary of State for Scotland why the Herring Industry Board Annual Reports for the years 1938–39, 1939–40, 1940–41, 1941–42, 1942–43, 1943–44 and 1944–45 were not placed in the Library of the House of Commons until 31st March, 1949.

These reports were not printed or published owing to the war. Copies in typescript were recently supplied to the Librarian of the House on request.
