HC Deb 02 June 1960 vol 624 c153W
Mr. Speir

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he will consider introducing legislation to empower river boards to issue fishing licences at concessional rates to retirement pensioners and juveniles.

Mr. Hare

Before commenting on the suggestion contained in my hon. Friend's Question I would prefer to await the report of the Committee appointed under the Chairmanship of Lord Bledisloe to review the Salmon and Freshwater Fisheries Acts. I am expecting to receive the report this autumn.
