asked Her Majesty's Government:

When the report of the independent Salmon and Freshwater Fisheries Review Group will be published. [HL1503]

Baroness Hayman

We are pleased to announce that the Salmon and Freshwater Fisheries Review Group's report was published on 9 March 2000. The group has carried out a very thorough and wide ranging examination of salmon and freshwater fisheries policy and legislation in England and Wales. We now intend to seek the views of interested parties; the consultation period will run until 31 July 2000. Copies of the report have been placed in the Library of the House.
