HC Deb 24 April 1969 vol 782 cc118-9W
67. Mr. Dalyell

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland on what criteria the hydro-electric board calculate the value of the stretches of river for hire; and what provision is made for those anglers with average incomes.

Mr. Buchan

I understand that rents are fixed on a commercial basis, in the light of catches in previous seasons and of market values, and that rents for existing leases are reviewed annually in discussion with the tenants, which include local angling clubs.
