Lincolnshire River Board (Fishing Licence Duties)

HC Deb 18 July 1962 vol 663 cc46-7W

47. Mr. E. L. Mallalieu

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will publish the factual and statistical basis on which the Lincolnshire River Board based their decision to raise their licence for coarse fish from 3s. to 10s.

Mr. Scott-Hopkins

My right hon. Friend has not yet received for his approval any proposals for revised licence duties from the river board. We therefore have no information as to the factual and statistical basis on which they may rest their case.
