HC Deb 22 January 1969 vol 776 cc101-2W
45. Mr. Hooson

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what representations he has received expressing the concern of angling associations at the adverse effect which drift-net fishing for salmon off Greenland has on game fishing in British waters, including the Severn; and what reply he has sent.

Mr. Hoy

My right hon. Friend has received representations from a number of bodies interested in angling, including the Montgomeryshire Federation of Angling Associations. In reply the Federation have been given an assurance that the Government will continue its efforts to seek international agreement to restrict the high seas salmon fishery.
