Jim Mather (Highlands and Islands) (SNP): To ask the Scottish Executive how it defines "grey boats" and what categories of boats it classifies in this way.
Mr Tom McCabe: The term "grey boats" (or "grey vessels"), as the Executive understands it, refers to boats or ships which have a naval/military function. Defence is a matter reserved to UK Ministers and, as such, the Executive does not have any responsibility for "grey boats".
It should be noted that Scottish Fisheries Protection Agency patrol boats are civilian vessels which have no military role or capacity.

The German colloquial expression for naval vessels is "graue Schiffe". However, I am not sure if the same image is used in English.
