§ Mr. Kimballasked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many sea trout and salmon were caught in Scotland in 1953 and 1952; what percentage of these were taken by nets; and, of the netting total, what percentage were taken by bag nets.
§ Mr. J. StuartThe following table gives the figures compiled from returns under the Salmon and Freshwater Fisheries (Protection) (Scotland) Act, 1951. I regret that the returns do not distinguish between fish caught by bag net and those caught by other fixed nets.
