§ 82. Mr. PERCYasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Agriculture if and when it is proposed to introduce a Salmon Fisheries Bill; and if the same will consolidate the provisions of the various Salmon Acts now in existence?
§ Mr. PARKER (Lord of the Treasury)A Bill dealing with fisheries in general is being prepared, and it is at present contemplated to take this opportunity of consolidating the law as to salmon and freshwater fisheries. It is hoped to introduce the Bill during the present Session, 1746 but my right hon. Friend is not yet in a position to make a definite statement on the subject.
§ Mr. PERCYWill the hon. Member undertake that as soon as the Bill is printed copies of it will be sent to the various fisheries authorities concerned, so that they may consider it?
§ Mr. PARKERI will convey that suggestion to my right hon. Friend.
§ Mr. PARKERI am afraid that I cannot say.
