§ Mr. Nieldasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he is aware of the deterioration in the state of the River Dee at Chester, and of the erosion of the banks near the Roodee and obstructions in the stream which seriously hamper the activities of the licensed 120W fishermen who earn their livelihood by netting salmon; and what action he is taking.
Mr. AmoryI am aware of the fishermen's difficulties. They were invited some time ago to inform the Dee and Clwyd River Board and the Chester Corporation of their minimum requirements for reasonable mooring and landing facilities and I understand that their response is still awaited.
