HC Deb 24 April 1969 vol 782 c119W
Mr. Dalyell

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether, in view of obsolescent Crown grants and leases, he will publish a list of current titleholders on all rivers, since some angling clubs are not having leases renewed when properties change hands.

Mr. Ross

No. I am not sure how publication of this kind of comprehensive list would help to resolve any individual difficulties that may be arising from unwillingness of some new owners of fishing rights to renew leases, and I do not think that the expenditure of time and money involved would be justified for this purpose.
