§ Mr. J. StuartI have sent draft proposals to the 21 local authorities concerned, and am awaiting their comments.
§ Mr. MaitlandWill my right hon. Friend bear in mind the intense interest which the amenities of the River Clyde provide for all those engaged in the sport of angling, which is a particularly popular sport among miners and other of my constituents?
