Lt.-Col. Colin Mitchellasked the Secretary of State for Scotland to what extent he is satisfied that, in the interests of salmon conservation, the terms proposed in the White Paper, Command Paper No. 4821, will reduce the worst effects of estuarine and coastal netting as permitted by the wording of the Salmon Acts, 1862–68; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Gordon CampbellMy proposals in the White Paper are aimed at improving management of salmon stocks as well as conservation. The measures proposed should contribute towards the attainment of those objectives.
