HC Deb 12 November 1962 vol 667 cc14-5W
Sir T. Moore

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will state in respect of Scotland, giving the mileage in respect of each, those motorways or lengths of motorway for which no line had yet been proposed, for which a draft scheme had been published, for which a scheme had been made, and for which tenders had been invited, respectively, on 31st October.

Mr. Noble

The position at 31st October on the motorway proposals included in the Scottish trunk road plans from mid-1962 to mid-1967 is as follows:

caught by drift-net but it is estimated that in 1961 the catch for Scotland and the Tweed was about 28,000 salmon and grilse and in 1962 up to 15th September, when this method of fishing was prohibited, about 115,000.

The total catch of salmon and grilse by other methods in Scottish rivers, including the Tweed, in 1961 was 327,692 made up as follows:

Rod and Line Net and Coble Fixed Engines Total
Salmon 46,703 71,269 56,863 174,835
Grilse 6,245 70,554 76,058 152,857
52,948 141,823 132,921 327,692

Corresponding figures for 1962 are not yet available because the majority of annual returns from which they are derived have not yet been received.
