§ 26. Mr. Ridleyasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what further action he proposes to take to prevent the Atlantic salmon from being over-fished by drift netting in the North Atlantic.
§ Mr. HoyAs a result of the advocacy of this Government, both North Atlantic Fisheries Commissions recently passed recommendations that fishing for Atlantic salmon outside national fishery limits should be prohibited. If accepted, these recommendations will provide an adequate safeguard, and in view of the strong support they enjoyed, I hope that they will be approved by all the countries concerned.
