HC Deb 27 January 1988 vol 126 c278W
27. Mr. Macdonald

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what representations he has received urging a review of the powers of the Crown Estates Commission over the development of fish and shellfish farming in Scotland.

Mr. Michael Forsyth

My right hon. and learned Friend has received representations from several hon. Members, local authorities, other bodies and individuals. The majority of such representations have concerned both the role of the Crown Estate Commissioners and the exclusion of marine fish farms from the scope of planning controls.
