§ Mr. HOPKINasked the Minister of Agriculture if he has confirmed the River Towy Fisheries (Limitation of Salmon Netting Licences) Order, 1931; and, if so, if he has considered the effect of the restriction on the livelihood of the 47 coracle fishermen of Carmarthen?
§ Sir J. GILMOURYes, Sir. I have confirmed the Order because I am satisfied that to do so would be to the advantage of all interested in the river, and, in particular, of the regular fishermen who are dependent for their livelihood in coracle fishing.
