§ 44. Mr. Campbell-Savoursasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what representations he has received from anglers in Cumbria on the cost of licences.
§ Mr. Buchanan-SmithI have received 49 objections from anglers in Cumbria to the fishing licence duty proposals for 1983 advertised by the North West water authority. Three objections were in the form of petitions signed by a number of persons, and nine others were on behalf of angling clubs and other bodies. The principal objections related to the proposal to discontinue the part-season salmon licence and to the size of some of the increases proposed.
