HC Deb 02 June 1965 vol 713 c234W
105. Sir W. Anstruther-Gray

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what reports he has received of salmon tagged as smolts in the United Kingdom being caught on the west Greenland coast; and what conclusions he has drawn from the evidence at his disposal.

Mr. Ross

Since 1960, 13 smolts tagged in Scotland and 15 smolts tagged in England and Wales have been caught in the west Greenland fishery. The limited information so far available does not enable us to draw any firm conclusion yet, and last year investigations were planned, to start this autumn in cooperation with the Danish and Greenland scientists, to secure further information about the ultimate destination of salmon found in Greenland waters.
